Jokes on you, anything controversial relating to Pakistan and India gets spammed and brigaded hourly.

That being said, its a great resource for finding secondary sources. Even if the sources themselves happen to be biased lol.

Anything controversial on any topic especially current events are extremely biased and strictly controlled by editors.

There are countless examples across the site. I won’t mention any because someone will say “that’s not controversial” because they share the same bias as the editor that “owns” the page.

Remember the prolific wikipedia contributor who had an extreme fascination with boobs?

Edit: It was a joke people. I wasn't being serious. But yeah, that did happen and there were articles about it for a while.

There's thousands of prolific Wikipedia contributors. Writing high quality articles takes a lot of time.

So no

Better than Google because at least it tries to fact check but it should be seen as a search engine

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
