A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I'm so fucking tired of that spin.

It's like a restaurant owner who offered a crappy menu of poorly cooked food that nobody wanted in the first place blaming the restaurant's failure on the people who refused to eat there.

Except the ones that they cook at home, so they just stayed in.

Your analogy would be better in Australia where voting is compulsory.

The ones that stayed home still get shit in their food

You may not pay attention to politics but politics sure will pay attention to you.
