TikTok mostly, a few SoMe Journalists I follow, like Under The Desk News and Lisa Ren Millard. But also Google News for more wide coverage.

I see you’re getting downvoted even though you respectfully answered the question, looks like the Reddit tradition of downvoting anything you disagree with to bury it is alive and well here on Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, nothing ever changes. People are assholes for the most part.

I don't get how people don't understand that down voting for stuff like this is not good for the communities overall health.

OP asked a question, and you answered it. You weren't shilling, so what's the issue?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, doesn't really surprise me anymore. If I cared about votes I might care, but I'd have to value the down voters opinion for it to matter to me, and I really don't.
