We do have one but it doesn’t have as much attention even from people on this instance, I included. I understand the idea of using Lemmy.ml community is to spread the world and show reactionaries that there’s a world beyond their tiny window which is not only encompassed by the West. But at the same time is tiring, I like reading the news, that’s how I like to start my morning, but I don’t want to get every day into the same fights because I’m just voicing my opinion, and having to argue against the same arguments over and over again: “China/X country which is bad source so the source is lying”, “capitalist apologia”, “whataboutism”, etc. I’m just not liking it, I love the fact that Lemmy is growing, but it has become a reactionary cesspool. I just would like it very much more if I could just go read the news and either get a true insight or joke with my comrades, and if I feel like it, I go to Lemmy.ml to argue with reactionaries.
Does anyone feel like me? Maybe we could get a bot that cross posts from there to here so that we can get the news without the trash and have it be more active?
Yeah, might not be a good immediate strict rule but some people over there already seems to be doing something like that either with a comment or a quote. Even as an informal tradition it still helps understand how a Washington Post article is useful despite its Washingtonianness, for instance, and drive discussion. The old reddit analogue kinda focused way too much on bombarding you with headlines but I personally am more in favour of deeper discussions on each thread.
