Ok, I'll bite. In what nuanced way does Israel deserve the billions of dollars in weapons and funding the US taxpayers fund to continue their genocide when at the same time FEMA isn't adequately funded to respond to the multiple hurricanes in this year alone?
Judging by the political discourse on this platflorm, I just figured the fediverse skewed towards center right conservative. I am actually impressed at how much more aggressive the content moderation for Lemmy communities is overall compared to Reddit. I don't really use Lemmy though as it's fairly empty.

People should absolutely avoid relying on sites like Media Bias Fact Check, as they are not free from bias themselves. These platforms are often maintained by individuals, and MBFC, in particular, has a noticeable bias toward corporate media outlets. While some of these outlets may employ skilled journalists, their editorial processes prioritize the interests of the publication, often tied to corporate or class interests. This can result in articles being revised or reframed over time to align with those interests, such as changing headlines to shift the narrative.
There are numerous independent outlets, including those founded by former journalists from major organizations like The Washington Post, which offer valuable alternatives. My point is that social media platforms like Reddit and Lemmy do their communities a disservice by relying too heavily on sites like MBFC. This practice tends to create echo chambers, rather than encouraging a broad and balanced understanding of media bias.
