So the mod of lefty_news is wanting to host it on a new domain. This has actually been in the works since long before the lemmy.ml defederation, but I am sure having a lot of their core audience be unable to interact with it for two weeks helped motivate him to pull the trigger. Seems understandable.
What I'm going to do is just add myself as a mod for !lefty_news@ibbit.at and keep this one up, for people from outside the lemmy.ml orbit who are already subscribed here. If you want the unfiltered experience from the original creators, go to !pravda_news@news.abolish.capital, that's the new home for this news as operated by @RedWizard@hexbear.net.
Probably the two will be pretty substantially similar. I think RedWizard is planning to put back some sources that got vetoed because they seemed like obvious propaganda:
- Caitlin Johnstone 1 2
- "Council Estate Media" 1
Also, I might also take out SCMP just for volume and quality-of-news reasons, and I'm open to recommendations for anything else to add or remove. But those are a handful of edge cases out of 46 feeds total that make up the thing. The vast majority of stuff in the overlap in our viewpoints as to what is and isn't "propaganda" will remain, including:
- Common Dreams
- The Intercept
- Novara Media
- Truthout
- Democracy Now
- And so on
Let me know if you have any feedback, anything like that. Cheers and take care.
