I’m enjoying Lemmy so far, for the most part.

Everything here is pretty good save for the fact that all the news and politics I can find is dominated by the same few accounts.

Half or more of the accounts have a very clear agenda. They modify headlines. Lie. Spread disinformation. And generally are just extremely toxic groups.

It doesn’t seem to be a secret here either. And moderators appear to have no interest in putting a stop to it.

So, where are you subbed to for reliable news and US/Global politics?

    An interesting project here on this front is lemmy.link: https://lemmy.link/communities

    They create RSS feeds from external sources and dump the feeds into lemmy communities.

    So it’s an RSS aggregator native to lemmy so that we can up/down vote and comment or cross post too.

    Seems like an interesting way to take the arbitrariness out of what gets posted and instead focus on actually reading, assessing and commenting on the news.
