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’s also [email protected] and [email protected], although to me those are a little rah-rah. I agree with you about the value of a place that specifically has politics excluded. Personally, I love politics even when it is upsetting, but I see the worthwhileness of having a US news community that is separated from it. I imagined it being anything at all that is US news, whether good or bad, just what’s going on irrespective of the government or political-warring issues.
I’ll plan to post to [email protected] once it has a little more content and the nature of the proposed community is ironed out a little better, yes, definitely.
