Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Does anyone actually respect newspaper journalists in 2025?

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I do, but I'm a nerd about looking into biases/funding/fact checking/etc. There's as much good stuff as shit and nothing should ever be taken as the god's honest, but there are people who try real damn hard to get the facts and I respect them for it.

I made a whole com just to post from independent media sources I like.

You're like a meta-reporter.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think knowing where your news comes from should be part of reading the news.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

It is probably the most important part of reading the news.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I promise I'm trying.

They're not making it easy, are they?

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 4 months ago

Nope. I was already getting very cynical about journalists (specifically cynical about "free" in "free press") when SARS-NCoV2 hit. The subsequent reportage convinced me that journalism was basically dead.

I don't respect people that don't respect journalism. Like where do you get information from? You just "doing your own research on the internet?" Or just believing any attractive person the algorithms shove in front of you?

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, believing the nyt, owned by the same assholes as the big slop algorithms, is so much better.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

BOTH SIDES!!!!

Did an internet influencer tell you to say this, or did you come up with it on your own?

Dunno. I was too busy looking at their tits to remember. Can I ask your pronouns before we continue?

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 4 months ago

I respect journalism.

I just haven't seen any in decades. I see instead servicing of narratives.
