I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related.

Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can’t-believe-it’s-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I’m going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people’s feelings on this before I do.

    Thanks for bringing this up.

    I didn’t notice until you pointed it out, because I usually browse my feed as a whole, without checking which community each post comes from. Now that I look at this community alone, I see a bunch of news posts that don’t belong here, just you described. No wonder my feed has been so thick with doom lately.

    I’ll try to pay more attention and report these posts (rule 4 or 2) when I think of it.
