Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

      So what are you implying? That it doesn’t matter where you get your news because all sources are biased anyway?

        I didn’t imply that at all. I was clarifying not implying. You started by describing Lemmy as biased but then you wrote a description of literally every news source in existence.

          There’s still a massive difference between news sources like NY times and Breitbart. It matters where you get your news from and even if it’s coming from a biased source you should atleast be aware of the bias. Some sites atleast try to counter their bias while others embrace it. These things matter. It’s not binary.

            Difference in quality? Yes. Difference in bias? No. The NYT has an extreme neo liberal US oriented business empire bias that as a refugee of the Iran Iraq war and victim of US foreign policy they supported that I don’t trust. I also don’t trust Breitbart.
