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?

    Clearly they’re saying you should hop in a hot air balloon and travel around the world spotting breaking news with your own eyes.

      That would be lit, but my point was more like “news varies from deliberate lies to true but necessarily skewed content”. Reddit is a great way to get a mix of the whole spectrum with no context.
