There are some good people there. Being in the USA, I do seek US news, so I'm there. Lemmygrad has one too but serves as a catchall, like the other.

Listen, I'm probably a decade or two older than the average Lemmy user, and it wasn't until the last year, give or take a few months, that I was able to suspend disbelief, first, come to believe a fair amount later, and take a whole lot from either instance with a few kilos of salt. Governments propagandize, fact of life. I first came here to dispute, too, and was provided links from Western media that allowed me to suspend disbelief and seek more information. I don't have an issue with honest dis/believers. I would be extremely hypocritical if I did. But it's pretty gross that the people who pay for these unnecessary wars with blood and money refuse to even suspend disbelief and seek real answers, and I'm not even better than that, because it took me over three decades to develop empathy for Palestine (because I found Internet forum of users who gave factual, documented information, like .ml does), and another couple of decades to believe about Ukraine - Russia.

The thing is, when I first went on .world some of those exact same people were loud disbelievers about Palestine, too. Now the whole instance just about is. Will they come around about Ukraine too? Hopefully, before the situation* is as ~~due~~ dire as Palestine. They're developing an ambivalent attitude about China, will they about Russia? I don't know.
