nothing will induce me to go back on x but i'll note that breaking news events in the middle east don't happen here because the community for it isn't here. also? iran protests + war has been a fucking slop propaganda shitshow of x-poisoned insanity

the medium is the message, etc
Most people do not have to be there. But some enclaves are kind of stuck there and they're much worse off for it. It's awful.
And I'm talking about the people for whom it's their job, their life's work, their activism, their friends, their family, their reality. I'm not talking about news consumers. You do not need to be on X to get the news, you get the news after the aforementioned groups shoot poison into their eyeballs

I have found most of the top stories come from Substack.
@sarahjeong.bsky.social #Norway and #Netherlands public broadcasting have the most reliable news they are heavilty invested in the shipping.
