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?
I pretty much only post news on Lemmygrad communities so I don’t have to deal with reactionaries, which I’m also not online enough take the time to interact with. I do agree that we should build our communities and then crosspost to others to help spread info, but I’ll rely on others for that 😅
I agree with this. I’m fact, just this morning, I unsubscribed from the main one because I realised I was getting too caught up in silly drama. As you plan, I’ll go over there now and again. But for now, I need to touch some grass or pebbles or the broken bits of glass next to a bus stop outside a nightclub – anything to get outdoors, basically.
I will also take this opportunity to say I appreciate it when you say, to paraphrase, ‘this is worldnews and you have posted boring US news and nobody cares’.
Did you seen lemmy “politics” community recently? it’s 90% some US tribal politics or internal state shit and it’s full of libs masturbating themselves to this distasteful meaningless theatre.
