the principles behind a successful exit from crisis remain relevant. While the specific policies will differ across societies, the overarching goal remains the same: to rebalance the distribution of wealth and power in a way that promotes long-term stability, not short-term elite enrichment.

    LOT of The Guardian (click bait yeah, misinformation no), AP, Reuters, Al Jazeera and mocking the NY Times for sanewashing

    I guess everyone has their different leanings, but I’m talking more about dailybeast, rawstory, literal tabloids that constantly hit the front page when sensationalist or sometimes flat out wrong headlines. There’s a reason Wikipedia avoids these.

    Folks also spread twitter screenshots or memes that are easy to interpret as factual but are, in fact, completely fabricated. This is an example I’m thinking of: https://lemmy.world/post/36736401

    And of course mods don’t care as long as it fits political orthodoxy, no matter how much its pointed out. I’ve even had Lemmy users express they ‘don’t care’ about the source quality, just that it matches their ideology. If the above was, say, a more tankie leaning meme, you can bet the mods would have zapped it instantly.


    Lemmy has a lot of Anarchists and very true Left leaning people in general, which means knowing how to doubt everything corporate media puts out into the world.

    Again, I’m skeptical of this, as it sure seems like tabloids are upvoted en masse as long as the title is juicy.


    In other words, no one really seems to care about information hygiene unless its outside their bubble. Thats a recipe for spreading misinformation.
