Well, personally I do tend to listen to a broad selection of similar outlets, but whenever something catches my interest specifically I do some light digging to verify the primary sources they’re reporting on. Occasionally I’m not able to sort things out, but it’s actually quite shocking how many sensational stories will fall apart almost immediately when you look even a little bit deeper. Far too often, even just reading the article itself will actually debunk it’s own headline.
That’s largely because you listen to media outlets run by them.
Saw a great idea recently:
Write down all your fears for what will happen over the next four years. Then, re-read your list every few months and check off everything which has actually happened.
I was part of the first generation brought up with computers, and I’ve been spending my entire life since trying to figure out what went wrong and how to teach myself all of the things that computers failed to convey, while everyone tries to exploit the “gap” to attack their political opponents. It’s been a riot.
Apparently I earned a site wide ban from lemmy.ml, but their posts keep showing up here. Annoyingly, I learned that when you get banned the “block community” button is hidden, so you have to add each community you want to block manually. So just blocking the entire instance solves my problem.
Ah, thanks. I had to scroll down a ways because my individual community block list was large enough to push that one out the bottom of the page I guess.
How do you filter out an entire instance as a single user? I was just trying to figure that out the other day, but it didn’t appear possible.
We’ve noticed.
