the same argument works with accusations of shilling
No, it doesn't. Because Shareblue is factual, Russian bots/collusion is fictional. We can whine about false accusations and still make accusations about factual things. The same argument does not work for both accusations.
ShareBlue is undeniably factual, they themselves don't even deny what they do.
"Russian bots" has literally zero evidence for it even after almost 2 years of investigation.
Accusations are not equal. I really don't get what you're going for here. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, it's like you've created some new kind of relativism where if A accuses B of something fictional, and B accuses A of something factual, somehow those situations are "equal."
It's good to practice self reflection but you can't fudge the facts, even if you have good intentions and your goal is to be humble or to try and avoid hypocrisy, which, good on you for trying, but the facts contradict you outright.
