Hi all,

New to the instance but not to Lemmy in general, I’ve moved over from lemmy.world due to their federation/blocking policy and hope I’ll find my new home here.

Now, one thing I’ve been looking for anywhere in the fediverse is a news (worldnews) community where bot posts are not allowed. Is anyone aware of such a project?

I know that I can block bots or hide bot accounts altogether, but that’s not really helping - the bots are still there, other users see their posts, and there’s no incentive to post the same news to the same community by actual users, meaning I’m missing out.

What I’m mightily annoyed with are that bots spam communities with just about every story in the books, from actual newsworthy events to clickbait rubbish, and of course they don’t have any actual interest in the topic nor means to engage in discussions.

So I’d love to have a place where actual humans post articles they personally consider useful, to have higher quality content as well as engagement. Curated news, in a way.

Is anyone aware of such a community, be it here on the instance or elsewhere?

Thanks a bunch!
