I’m getting there. One by one, I’m leaving the news communities, because they’re so deranged.

It’s frustrating, though, cuz Reddit (for better & worse) was a pretty good source of news, and a good place to discuss it. Yes there was a lot of noise, but most of the time the top few comments were worth reading. Sometimes it was legit deep analysis, sometimes insider knowledge about the politics/business/culture in question. Then below that, there was the bog-standard predictable takes and the shit-slinging.

On Lemmy, you only seem to get the latter. I guess it’s just not big enough, or skews young and inexperienced.
