That’s why I’ve long unsubscribed from all the news and politics communities. They’re all not very healthy and pretty random in both what gets posted, what’s the outrage of the day, and subsequently also all other things that come with these kinds of discussions. Moderation style, and nature of the comments… I’d say read some decent newspaper and skip social media news.

Mods aren’t perfect automatons, and I’ve seen many mods on lemmy let things unfitting for their sub stay up if they find it after it has generated a lot of discussion, in the interest of not killing discussion.
