    It feels like the more speech we produced on the internet the more of it turned out to be bullshit. We need to turn to quality over quantity.

    That’s a really interesting point. The question to me becomes: what facilitates quality over quantity? What encourages earnest dialectic dialogue over raging and trolling? I don’t see the twitter format as the answer. Lemmy I feel is somewhat better at facilitating such a culture.

    We need non-profit news outlets that are publicly and internationally founded with transparent decision-making.

    Non-profit, public, transparent, those are all things any government body should be. What it seems you’re describing is a centralised government body for determining truth/falsehood. To the exclusion of all others?

    If you want to know what’s going on in the world, read from at least 4 news sources from different parts of the world with different slants and ideologies. Note: they will contradict each other.

    woops sorry, I misread outlets, thought it read outlet…
