<div> Congrats to Dave (no the other one)</div>
<div>But slashdot has just been its own flavour of fake news
since the 1990s.</div>
<div>With a very narrow, specific, and privileged bias too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4chan (or even reddit) are more likely sources for 'real'
news.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any of the peer based sources will be highly populist, and
short sighted with respect to timespan/history.</div>
<div>This is both the advantage an drawback of Wikipedia vs
Britannica</div>
<div>(US popular emphasis vs control by a cabal of old white
British men).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is a dangerous game going on right now with the
'common carrier' type status</div>
<div>that social media has enjoyed.</div>
<div>Once censorship and editorial bias starts (and it always
starts) it runs away fast.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But perhaps I digress.</div>
<div>My real source of real news is usenet.</div>
