I see a lot of posts lately, mainly in ‘world news’ communities, that when I investigate their source, I cannot come to any other conclostion that purposefully spreading of fake news and propaganda on lemmy.

I love this platform and want to see it thrive, but the fact that these kind of posts can so easily populate my feed is disturbing.

    The issue is that some communities are run by mods who think these are real news

      Find new communities when that happens, or bring it up with the admins so those mods are replaced
