    Hm… I don’t agree with making c/ about one sided news, but I feel that ton of comments and votes casted here are biased. I don’t see anything terrible here… I’m not sure what liberal world news are… but I’m sure a lot of people here feel attacked by this opposite opinion, or world view that OP maybe represents.

    Whole above thread doesn’t look like a perfect debate about if such community is right, more like “We are more right than you”.

    I think that such c/ could be bad overall, so I’m more or less against it. As my main argument I will just say that world news are world news, and all news/photos links should be there so we all can get a view on an event from as many points of view as possible. I hope OP sees it as I do, or has arguments for this community. I can’t see them. I was trying to look at it like sport related c/, for example like a fanpage for a sports team. But sport is a hobby, what happens in the world and our correct understanding of it is on whole anothet level.

      It’s hard to discuss stuff on !worldnews when you’re banned on !worldnews. This is a pissing match between people who don’t like each other and soferman is losing because the other side is an admin.

        Other admins should come and give their opinions on if soferman did break any rules or is there just too many emotions. I would probably unban him, but I’m not admining here so maybe I don’t know something/the full story. He got many downvotes, but I’m not sure why, but it seems that there are people that agree with admin.

      After making this group I got banned from worldnews. This happened just a few hours ago.

      Link: https://lemmy.ml/post/68576

      I wasn’t the one who took the initiative to make this group. The other mod did, and I thought I’d help with setting up icon, header and some of the stuff. Also filling up the feed. And as every ‘western’ post who brings criticism towards Russia or China it gets bogged down by people who think it is a conspiracy.

      I kind of hate to plaster ‘liberal’ to anything. It’s kind of cringe. But in this context it makes sense, and in retrospect I’m glad it exists.

        Well, I did read that. I don’t agree still with this group topic/theme/name. If you can’t get to a conclusion within a group, you don’t make your own group that agrees with you so you can feel comfortable (and become ignorant).

        It’s like laying in bed and not going out because the floor is too hard. It is much better to get in interaction with hard floor than rot in bed. (I know that my metaphors are sometimes bad… I hope this one is not :) )

          Yeah, this is a concern we have elaborated on within the group. But it’s more about having a more fruitfull setup. People have complained that articles that otherwise would be a great discussion is bogged down by the whole discussion regarding all mainstream western media being propaganda and that only lies are told.

              Well, these aren’t usually discussions and it taints everything. I feel like you haven’t really taken the time understand the context here or you are missing some social cues
