MODERATORS
the majority of those articles aren't paired with an actionable thesis statement to the avg reader, it's just a bundle of anxiety and despair. they're not worth your time or mine
The news here is not just negative, people have posted articles showing how things are NOT hopeless, like about how surprisingly effective the Inflation Reduction Act is, or how states and countries are scaling up solar power, how cheap alternative energies are continually becoming, etc.
I don't go to traditional news sites, watch TV, or use any other social media, Lemmy has become how I stay slightly abreast of what's happing, and it works well as a Reddit replacement in that regard.
I also think it's a good place to share ideas, some of the articles posted from Lowtech Magazine were absolutely wonderful.
Is it a good place to organize? No. But it's a nice place to discuss things, find cool stuff, and be informed of global happenings.
I also like my news with a bit of a call to action
Gotcha, makes sense. Complex topic. Needs to stay in people's mind but too much and they get used to it.
