I noticed this while listening to music, but it seems to be similar in other media such as twitch streams. You would think that such an important would be mentioned a lot because it affects everyone, but it seems to be strongly avoided.

    Hmm, didn’t notice that so much, but I guess it might also be just seen as a controversial topic and some media want to avoid alienating part of their audience?

    Or are you also specifically referring to Lemmy and what people post here? There is definitely not a lot of discussion about that here. I guess right now tech and privacy is pretty dominating on Lemmy.ml

      No I’m definitely not refering to the fediverse, but on some platforms like youtube the topic seems to be avoided (maybe because of rules from google?)

        Youtube said they were sourcing the most accurate information on covid19 from the WHO and treats everything else as misinformation, regardless whether they’re honest regular or professional opinions.

            Big tech censorship is rampant now. We have Youtube algos and an ever shifting definition of ‘misinformation’ to thank for that. Youtube/Facebook/Twitter is a terrible place to get any actual information that’s not pop culture related. LBRY/Peertube/podcasts and individual media orgs (e.g. Tim Poole) are where all the action is.
