I see a lot of posts lately, mainly in ‘world news’ communities, that when I investigate their source, I cannot come to any other conclostion that purposefully spreading of fake news and propaganda on lemmy.

I love this platform and want to see it thrive, but the fact that these kind of posts can so easily populate my feed is disturbing.

    You mean that co-founder Larry Sanger that is full on Trump supporter and believer of conspiracy theories that claims Wikipedia has a leftist bias?

    That guy that claimed there are “multiple versions of facts”?

    Yeah, he isn’t a great source, I can tell you that.
