22·2 months agolemmy.today is the only other free speech instance besides Lemmings.world that I could find. Great admins too. They are cool with whatever, as long as you’re not posting illegal stuff (US-based).

21·2 months agoBut my real issue is pretty much that Lemmy has almost no other content besides political one
Yep, this is pretty annoying. I posted some general news to our news sub, and some people got mad because they didn’t think it was “news.” Meaning, to them, if it’s not political, it’s not news. I personally barely read political news. lol

news@lemmings.world•Maryland man stops for lunch, wins $50,000 lottery prizeEnglish
11·2 months agoI don’t know what that means. Are you replying to the correct post? UPI is an accepted news org in this community. If you have a problem with any news article I have posted, or if you think the facts are incorrect, please let the mod know.

13·1 month agoHere is the news link to the page it was under at UPI.com, called Odd News: https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/
UPI is in the news business and have been since 1907. So I think they are better at determining what news is than Lemmy posters are.
It is news. Have a good one.

12·2 months agoOf course you are. Just as I’m free to give my defense in the comments.

news@lemmings.world•Maryland man stops for lunch, wins $50,000 lottery prizeEnglish
12·2 months agoThe reporter and the news org, UPI.com, found it newsworthy enough to post. If the mod of this community disagrees, then he is free to remove it.

news@lemmings.world•Maryland man stops for lunch, wins $50,000 lottery prizeEnglish
12·2 months agoA Maryland man made a stop for lunch during his break for lunch and ended up winning $50K. It was news article published on a news site, written up by a news reporter.
What do you think news is? This isn’t a political-only news comm, it’s a general news comm. This was some general news.
I bet the guy who won the money certainly thinks it’s big news! lol

news@lemmings.world•NASA moon rocket hit by new problem expected to bump astronauts’ lunar trip into AprilEnglish
32·2 months agoThat we can agree on!

22·2 months agoYou and I have very different definitions of clickbait lol
PapaSkwat@lemmings.worldOPto
news@lemmings.world•NASA moon rocket hit by new problem expected to bump astronauts’ lunar trip into AprilEnglish
32·2 months agoThere is nothing clickbait-y about that headline tho. The headline says that they were hit by a new problem. And described the problem and it’s expected to bump the astronauts’ lunar trip into april. What in the world do you think is clickbait-y about that headline?!

Green Party@lemmy.today•Obama says U.S. 'less safe' after Trump erases power to fight climate changeEnglish
1·2 months agoRacism and fascism are not allowed here. Welcome to yet another ban, loser. By the looks of your mod history, you seem to be really disgusting and racist. Ewww, gross!

WallStreetJunkies@lemmy.today•With stocks still riding high, now is the time to rebalanceEnglish
21·2 months agoExactly. When the stock market slumps, everything is on sale and time to buy up. Trump does plenty of silly stuff, but by knowing how people react to every little thing he does, it’s built up my portfolio pretty good. As long as I don’t buy/sell based on emotions, while taking advantage of everyone who does, it works out for me.

37·2 months agoIt tastes awesome tho. And I’m a healthy weight (4 pack abs show without flexing), weightlift and run a few miles every day. and swim every day in the summer. So I’m good with a baconater every once in a while. But people should def watch their calories.
America ain’t the only one getting fat. Me and my gf traveled europe recently, and everyone everywhere is getting fatter!









The closest I found to the same vibe are, Lemmy.today, lemmy.zip, lemmy.wtf, and lemmy.dbzer0.com. Those four are pretty much the “live and let live” instances that don’t try to control what you say or read.
