The numerous incidents on Boeing aircraft in the past three months reflect the drive of the company’s executives to maximize profits for stockholders to the detriment of safety on its fleet of commercial airliners.
Yeah, I really liked /r/neutralnews, which had a whitelist (for posts) and a blacklist (for comments), and anything else was taken on a case-by-case basis.
And the problem isn’t just because it’s election season (but it’ll get worse), it was also a problem when I joined last summer. It’s a “tons of leftists on lemmy.ml” problem posting sketching sources that serves whatever their agenda is.
That said, I don’t think we should necessarily have a blacklist (and certainly not with lemmy as-is), but a bot with a large whitelist of sources pulled from /r/neutralnews that provides alternatives would be awesome (bonus points if it also archives the relevant pages). It would basically do a search with the given search terms, pull links from the first 10 or so relevant results, and randomly choose 2-3 that have a high correlation with the posted source (and a link for a search query on DDG or similar for more results).
Maybe I’ll hack on that, idk. I’ve wanted something like /r/neutralnews since coming here, and I haven’t found anything remotely similar.
If you do end up hacking on it, and can remember to come back and say so, please let me know the name of the sub. Or if you make one now I’ll subscribe and hope to see it show up at some point.

Sure thing. I’ve saved this comment in case I get around to it (may have some time next week).
