Underrated benefit of lemmy is like minded people will tend to join the same instances and if I don't want to interact with those groups I can just filter the whole instance. (lemm.ee)

It doesnt necessarily mean that importent things won't be covered. I just don't need fox news opinion about it.

Then you should pick a reputable paper like The Guardian and read a chronological RSS feed. Articles that don't support Lemmys preexisting point of view don't even get posted here.

They do. I've seen some - heck I've posted some. Sort a community by Controversial and you'll see them.

If you had said "rarely" or "mostly" rather than "don't even" then your statement would have been correct. As it is, you are using hyperbolic claims that are easily refuted by a handful of counterexamples, thereby turning people away from listening to your POV.
