I go for 2 things.
A sports team I support. There's a community here on lemmy which I do post in but it's like 3 of use here haha. Until it picks up I need to get team news somewhere.
Ukraine war daily thread. This is too important to ignore but I am trying to find other sources. Started using mastodon to follow some war commenters.
I feel dirty doing so though.
Considering where Lemmy's developers stand, it's probably for the best to get your Ukraine news from more than just here.
Could you expand on that a bit when you have chance, what is the issue and does it affect all instances or are you meaning one particularly? Genuinely curious - suspect you may mean bias or censorship but don't want to make assumptions.
(Surprisingly for the internet, I'm not going to argue with you if I don't agree - I am just interested to know why you think what you do and other people reading might also find it useful or interesting!)
Apparently many of lemmys developers are hard core tankies, basically Russia and China apologists who deny/justify China's genocide, and support Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
I can't say much for smaller instances, but in some of the bigger instances like lemmy.ml, some anti Ukraine articles get traction. I haven't really noticed in as much in kbin and .world, but knowing where the devs stand, I try to follow the Ukraine war on platforms outside of lemmy to avoid possible misinformation.
@Roundcat Thanks for this, I really wanted to know what people meant by they accept genocide and it does make me feel like maybe i'll love across to Kbin a bit more as atm questioning if Lemmy or Kbin is the best fit for me. I do thankfully use Lemmy.world but if Kbin is more accepting and useable might just move across to here. Again, Thank you.
