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.

    Hey, I try to keep a hands-off approach to modding as much as possible, but you’re right, this has indeed gotten out of control.

    I’d appreciate it if people would report posts that don’t belong here more, because otherwise I’m not likely to see them until they’ve already gathered a ton of comments, and I’m hesitant to remove posts at that point.

    So… Thanks for posting about this.

      I appreciate the response! My goal isn’t to throw you or anyone else under the bus either, just trying to gauge whether I misunderstood what the community was for. I know moderation is a lot of work so I appreciate the effort and understand it won’t always be perfect.
