Hi all. So I made:
The thinking is that there isn’t a good home for non-political US news on Lemmy. There are three obvious communities, but one is on lemmy.world, one is defederated from lemmy.world, and one is on an instance that I find just slightly off-putting.
My questions are two:
- Is this useful? I assume I’m not the only one who feels like this is needed.
- How do people feel about a news+politics community, versus a strictly non-political news community? There are plenty of good places for US politics. I could go either way, but personally I tend to like the news+politics combination, and I think a lot of the big news in the US for the next few years is going to be political.
Let me know your thoughts, have a good weekend.
Yeah there was a comment "someone please kill [this person]”, which upon being reported got the reporter banned rather than the poster. And another incident where someone got booted for downvoting a post by the admin. It doesn’t sound like a place that I’d enjoy being on. So I gave up on communities located there and support rather alternatives to them elsewhere. Be a part of the change that we want to see in the world and all of that…
