      Just first one I picked. Compare this

      https://lemmy.world/post/54197566

      To this

      https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1xrxdg7/russell_brand_sentenced_to_105_years_in_prison/

      In my opinion the conservative one is more informative. For lemmy the very first comment I see is just wrong.

      Suspended Sentence though, so it’s really just a slap on the wrist

      Then the rest of the comments are just repeating the same shit about “10 years is a long time” and “10 years isn’t a long time”

      The conservative forum are a mix of people discussing the actual case and evidence and debating. The lemmy one is a series of people in agreement all saying the same thing without much new information and mostly just opinions about how they feel.

      I do this is often with different stories and the right wing spaces are starting to be my go to for information whereas left wing spaces are not cutting it anymore. The idea that the left are more aware was something I think exists decades ago. I suspect the playing field has evened out if not totally reversed.
