Can we just use up and downvotes and not use bans for such things.

In this particular case the problem is that most Germans know what it means for a news outlet belonging to Axel Springer, while internationals can’t understand our anger. This is because politico by itself is not a far right outlet like it’s Brother BILD. That’s why the up/downvote thing will not work here sadly.

Welt has decent articles from time to time. It’s also a good idea to expose yourself to viewpoints you don’t like.
