lemmy.world users when lemmy.ml user don't immediately suck up to political propaganda

There's a reason why having both world news communities from both instances is a good thing. You'll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don't completely agree with you.

Staying within on instance community creates an echo chamber like reddit. There's even such a wild difference within lemmy.world between c/Politics and c/News, despite them often posting similar news and info.

That's why I often interact with Truth Social /s

The biggest differences seems to be .ml Russia and China are never wrong and Israel drinks the blood of Palestinian children. On .world Israel is just bad, and China and Russia have problems.

normally i would be inclined to agree with you, but when we're talking about people who "believe" that the left is more of a fascist threat than the political right in the US, i don't think that should be a valid held opinion currently.

They are both generally left. I wouldn't call that unbiased

Being non-right is a level of bias I think the world can live with.
