    I’m not sure if this is allowed but I just wanted to put the updated address here: [email protected] . I changed the name from what it was originally as this seemed like a better description.

    I like the idea of it. My only input on this would be:

    If it’s meant for discussions, maybe make it for self posts only? Or at least link to opinion pieces instead of just any articles? Otherwise, what’s the difference this compared to the political news communities?

      I guess my idea was a somewhat unregulated version of /politics , with far less “approved sources”, and more discussion and non media news outlet narratives. Basically I liked what that former site’s /r/politics community was before 2015 when people could post anything, editorize within reason. It could be a self post, a link, discussion, etc.

      I don’t really want to ‘limit’ what people submit, but that might change if people think it’s not working out well.

      I mean look at Lemmy circa June of last year. All of the people who fled ‘that former site’ to come here said this place felt like an old version of the internet, like 1990s forums/usenet. I was just going for that sort of community, and hopefully people willingly follow the rules.

      I like the opinion piece idea though, I’ll add that to the sidebar.

    But seriously, there is no need for arbitrary post limitations. Lemmy users are perfectly able to up-vote and down-vote content. I say allow users to post Fox News.
