"No blogs promoting hate speech, denial of climate change, anti-vax ideas, etc." Well that's a shame, there's quite a few out there that pose credible and interesting questions and discussions around some of these topics. Basically this is saying: "No conservative blogs allowed" which erases at least 50% or more of the population's musings. I'd love to see an aggregator that isn't politically motivated and biased as this one is. The internet would be a better, freer place. We may even find that these "hateful", "alarming" ideas are in fact mainstream after all and being unfairly suppressed by sites like these as well as legacy media, social media, etc. under the guise of the greater good.

  The United States, judging by voting numbers in the last 2 Presidential elections. 50% is obviously a rough rounding, and serves as a figure of speech.

Spreading misinformation is a VERY different thing from constructive discussion of different takes on an issue. Anyone taking offense to a request like this can't tell the difference.

  Valid discussions and critiques on the prescribed narratives are all labeled as "misinformation" conveniently and expressly because the holders of the legacy media narratives are in power and do not wish to be challenged. Common examples are: medical practitioners blowing the whistle on vaccine injuries, or recommending treatments to illnesses that have been demonized by media outlets. You would be shocked at how many things no longer exist, but previously existed with incredible support and numbers behind them. Everything from Facebook groups, YouTube videos, blog posts, websites, etc. -- too many mediums to list, and yet, unreferenceable here because they've been taken down by the liberal moderation machine who's unwilling to view their opponents as valid participants of grander dialogues, so instead, enact policies of erasure rather than honest debate. It is not a fair game when those who are in power _are_ the ones deciding what can and cannot exist in the public scene, causing them to remain unchallenged, and prevents their political opponents from obtaining power by suppressing their use of the standard avenues of communication.
