  • Board Votes To Dissolve Corporation For Public Broadcasting After Loss Of Federal Funding

    Jump

  • I enjoy a lot of PBS and NPR programs, but it is weird AF to me that people want the government to subsidize the media.

    1. The job of the media is to hold the government to account. They can't do that if they're funded by the government.
    2. If people appreciate this media, they can pay for it, like they already do with their tax dollars. I see no reason why people need to be taxed so we can have NPR.

  • Leaving lemmy.world if it doesn't defederate from threads. Fuck Meta.

  • In favor of defederation. If I start seeing garbage from threads in my feed, I'm switching instances. I don't want Meta pushing their divisive, hateful, misinformation all up in my feeds. Meta will kill fedi. We don't need them.
