    I also struggle with this often as a 'Merican expat living in another country, hopefully permanently. Occasionally I wanna catch up on US shit but most of the time I care more about what’s going on in Europe and other places so I couldn’t care less about the perpetually stupid shit happening back in the US.

    I’m still learning the language where I moved to so English news resources that are about other places can be very valuable to me. My main resource (and advice to others with this issue) is using an RSS reader with good sources you find along the way. Not every site has RSS these days but many do. I fill in the blanks with podcasts and stories in the language of my country. Only downside is no discussion unless you post on Lemmy or other social media, but maybe that can become a thing we do. :)


  • It’s guaranteed that they’ll use their instance to datamine and further build profiles on people in other federated instances as well.

    I don’t trust them at all with their handling of data besides their ability to track people who aren’t even on their platforms. Also it’s almost impossible to reach out to them unless you buy their shitty VR headset, as you will find out if someone ever fraudulently takes your account to buy ads with your money and gets your FB account banned.

    Fuck the Zuck.
