Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Could we give life to our c/worldnews? (lemmygrad.ml)

We do have one but it doesn't have as much attention even from people on this instance, I included. I understand the idea of using Lemmy.ml community is to spread the world and show reactionaries that there's a world beyond their tiny window which is not only encompassed by the West. But at the same time is tiring, I like reading the news, that's how I like to start my morning, but I don't want to get every day into the same fights because I'm just voicing my opinion, and having to argue against the same arguments over and over again: "China/X country which is bad source so the source is lying", "capitalist apologia", "whataboutism", etc. I'm just not liking it, I love the fact that Lemmy is growing, but it has become a reactionary cesspool. I just would like it very much more if I could just go read the news and either get a true insight or joke with my comrades, and if I feel like it, I go to Lemmy.ml to argue with reactionaries.

Does anyone feel like me? Maybe we could get a bot that cross posts from there to here so that we can get the news without the trash and have it be more active?

I completely agree with you, reading the news is a crucial part of my day and I need more like-minded people to share and discuss it with.

I really liked those megathread posts that were around for a bit but I didn’t get a chance to contribute cause I’m extremely disorganized.

I will definitely make a concerted effort to post and comment in c/worldnews if that is the plan. I often come across articles that I don’t see shared on here that would be interesting to comrades. Really big fan of this post, thanks.

Nice to know, I just think that a bot would help to at least give it some traction so that people start using it more.
