I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related.

Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can’t-believe-it’s-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I’m going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people’s feelings on this before I do.

    A big issue is about half of everything trump says could easily be the onion. Which is likely why there’s so many political ones.

    It’s also an election year, in which Trump was tried for shenanigans, which will lead to a lot more news stories than usual where you read the headline and wonder if this is satire or not. Things will return back to a more even stream of content but US politics is especially odd at the moment.
