I'd also recommend !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl. They seem to find some pretty good communities.

Reddit does get super echo chamber-y in some places, though. Check out any thread in /r/worldnews lately and all the comments. They're all of the same opinion. At least on Lemmy I see disagreement. I see as many complaints about tankies on Lemmy as I do tankies themselves, for example. The only one I've seen in this thread has all their comments in the negative.

I agree and have noticed the same things. I don't think Lemmy is big enough to attract the state sponsors yet like Reddit is but it will probably be susceptible to the same issues when it is.

So like the relays or whatever that Mastadon has but topic and community focused?

Ya that one was on Biden. No idea why he chose that way to remove student loan debt.

Ya, probably more grad paper thesis territory lol. For South Africa, I know the reconciliation meetings had not only South Africans but people from all around the world, so we'd probably need the same thing here. International law and relations experts, experts on deconolization, history, political theory, constitutions from around the world, etc.

Although i know that also kind of caused the problem in the first place, a bunch of foreigners drawing lines on a map to dictate what happens to the natives. Hopefully this time they'd have a bigger say.

So was South Africa and the Native Americans and the racial relations in the US and countless other situations but we still try to inrpove them.

Well I'm sure the families of the hostages aren't super happy about the way the war is being waged, but I wonder about the others. He did get voted in, and a lot more legitimately than Hamas in Gaza which was years before half their population was old enough to vote.

I always forget it exists. I figured it couldn't have gone very long.

Right? I know Sam Altman sucks but I don't know if he was fired for more profit or less, or what exactly is going on. I'm not sure how to react to these articles besides surprise and bemusement.

At the time, they were pissed they were kicked out of the land, and I'm sure some old people still are (there are people old enough to be able to look at their family house they were kicked out of).

But now, I'm sure most of them are passed about what's happening now, that they get the bare minimum of calories, that they are always surveilled by drones to the point that they can't sleep from their droning, that their trash piles up as it's controlled by the Israelis, they can't leave their waters or travel to other places, most of their water is poisoned, most of their family was killed by IDF, etc.
