I've perceived the last couple of months a different media landscape overall, and to me more noticeable in Lemmy.
Some subjects seem to be regularly reoccurring and other relevant issues are simply almost absent.
I believe also that overall Lemmy posts used to be more guarded, reasonably balanced , with a leftish tweak.
Of late , the posts seem more repetitive, as if there's an agenda to be set. It could be my perception.
Then again, if I take the several disinformation warnings to heart, it could be that too.
Any one got a take on this, or have felt a change in the Media, subjects and or comments of late,especially the last weeks?
Examples: Trump, Fascism, Hate crime, Palestine/ Isreael, corruption.
Overall, the atmosphere of links, posts and comments are more negative & polarising I guess..
All of your examples are very much important and urgent topics right now, it doesn't really need "agenda setters" to make these the center of attention. Or at least not "agenda setters" in the fediverse, it's quite possible that many users are being influenced in other places like the mainstream media.
Thanks for your take and I agree. So no agenda setting needed here.
