Do you think reddit is immune to the oligarchs? I don’t think so at all.
Edit: What I’m saying is: post here rather than on reddit. There are no current updates in the Lemmy community. And I’m assuming that the discussion is taking place on reddit because everyone is somehow still there. Why is that? Why is everyone still there when it’s clear as day that reddit is so rotten that Aaron Swartz would roll over in his grave if he had to witness that.
Just another question, where would you ideally like to see protest news posted on lemmy? Yes there’s the 50501 community, I also post on DSA community. Where else?
After the big one I think around early or mid-March, I remember seeing it on the front page of CNN the next morning. It was buried in a lower part later I’m the day, but it was at least front and center the morning after the protests.
Even Fox has covered them a lot. I’ve seen this all spring. They aren’t completely ignoring this.
To be fair, I don’t consume mainstream media whatsoever anymore. After reading Manufacturing Consent, I see no point. I get all my news from socials or alt news sources like Democracy Now!, counter punch, it’s going down, and Mother Jones, etc …
/50501 here and on reddit.
Why would the news, controlled and operated by oligarchs, give people protesting oligarchs any coverage?

Thanks for doing that!
Maybe also [email protected] and [email protected]
Well no, but the question was why is there no mainstream media coverage.
I’ve posted a couple things here on lemmy. Let’s be honest though, the reach of reddit is orders of magnitude higher than here
