Rebecca "elevatorgate" Watson.

My concern is more the possibility of defining disinformation in some politically conveniemt manner.

Its already happening. In fact, looking at it from a wider perspective than nowadays teenagers are often able to, the modern "fight against disinformation" is just fighting propaganda with one's own propaganda. And if you read the Hittite and Egyptian descriptions of Battle of Khadesh, it isn't really a new thing either.

Duh. I keep hearing about a war in Ethiopia since I was born, approaching 4 decades.

In the meantime, the war in Ukraine is just 5 hours from my home city.

So of course I will be interested in a war between a nation that tried (and succeeded in a way) to conquer my country previously, a conflict that is so close that I could easily drive to the warzone in less than a day, than in an eternal conflict in Ethiopia.

"not get You" Don't forget the packet loss and non-ordered packets.

Because the sequel removed something that some people complained about. The individualistic behaviour and different patterns of different hero types. Now they are all braindead.

I wouldn't say necessarily more, since fediverse lacks tools to find interesting content in the first place, and everything is still in the wild west area, but certainly, if you dislike a book, movie or a dish, it tells something about you. It would be however prudent to not make a boatload of assumptions about the consumer.

Well a lot of stuff posted on here seem tech related

I am subscribed to the tech-related magazines, but their content is only a speckle of what is posted on reddit, even after a bunch of tech people migrated. And the discussion is also less interesting, on Reddit there usually was a number of lengthy posts explaining the background and commenting on the news, not much here. At least in the magazines I subscribed to.

Most stuff on the main page is just circlejerk about how kbin/lemmy has is so much better (community, content, discussions) than Reddit. I don't find that interesting at all.

So far it feels like the fediverse is full of immature children who are more interested in validating their own opinions rather than deep and lengthy discussions about topics.

Yet to find interesting content.

Agree. And yet again, there was reason why gaming bloggers and YouTubers like TotalBiscuit got so much popular. Gaming Journalism crashed.

I am not disagreeing with you, I grew up on Level and Score personally.
