    Both and question everything you read/hear and try to double check everything that seems important.

    Bias here but I say Fediverse.

    Mainstream media will do anything to suck up your personal data and fool you into thinking an advert is real content.
    Meanwhile here there are no ads and if someone posts an ad well it generally gets down voted. Also having actual numbers to votes and being able to down vote is nice unlike other platforms where they obscure negative votes or disable them in general.

    Different things for different needs.

    I get all my news from RSS feeds and get JUST my social media from Mastodon. Lemmy is more for the quick Reddit fix.

    Mainstream seems filled with bots, and non-mainstream seems filled with the types that those in the mainstream would rather not put up with. <shrug>

        threadiverse-aggregated links to a mainstream outlet still take you to the same page you’d find if you just went to the outlet site directly

        same potential for ads, sponsored links, reccomeded articles, etc. just separated by one step

    Well, the Threadiverse is, like Reddit, set up to be a content aggregator. It mostly links to content on mainstream media.

    l’d think that for most people, it’s kinda “both”.
