Musk confirmed that posts containing links are deprioritized, renewing criticism that the platform is restricting access to external sources of information.
I like it in theory, but the content posted here seems even more politically biased than on Reddit, or at least I’ve found it difficult to find a good sample from different sides, and neutral content is pretty much not happening. Even in tech, most of it seems to be bashing on Musk or some other billionaire.
I just want to know what’s happening in the world and I want to discuss it. Why does everything need to be so slanted? I really miss /r/neutralnews on Reddit because the mods at least enforced the rule that facts must be cited, which helped quite a bit on nonsense posts.
I like the format, I just don’t think we have the right moderation team and/or userbase to get exactly what I’m looking for. But I’m unwilling to go back to Reddit out of stubbornness, so I settle for lemmy.
tbf lemmy is a very good news source, and sharing and discussing news articles is why reddit was created.

Really, because since I blocked most meme communities, I feel like all I’m getting in Lemmy lately is news about Twitter and Bluesky.
