I get my news from different sources though, that's just not what I signed up to lemmy for permalink fedilink source parent [–] rudyharrelson@lemmy.radio 12 points 3 months ago (1 child) Curating one's feeds does not inherently lead to ignorance. I've been aggressively filtering my newsfeed for years now and I didn't suddenly forget about all the corruption and injustice. I just have no need for those headlines to overwhelmingly dominate my day-to-day ingestion of news. "Corrupt Oligarch Continues Campaign Against Human Rights" isn't news to me; it's the status quo. I don't need a dozen headlines to remind me the sky is blue every day. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rnysmrny@fedinsfw.app 4 points 3 months ago Well said. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 point 3 months ago Everything is political. What you don't want to see is either controversy, or bad news. A lot of people call controversy and bad news political, and they're wrong. We all experience politics all the time, and it's quite tolerable, even fun, when the controversy and bad news is taken out. I gave some suggestions on the top-level for political things you can remove that aren't controversial or bad news; Linux and Star Trek. If you don't want to remove those, then you should consider being more specific about what you don't like. permalink fedilink source parent
