This is what I got: Some are more active than others.
Thanks for the list
Some of those are exactly the places I'm talking about. Politics@lemmy.ml is filled with accounts from troll farms. The #4 post there right now is by the worst of the group.
And, if it wasn't bad enough that post fake and misleading stuff, they brigade the votes and manipulate the posts that way as well. It's a disaster.
So far for me, the only place in the fediverse with news and politics communities that are okay but not great are the ones on beehaw.org.
Everywhere else I've checked so far has a very naked agenda. Beehaw still leans left, but not in a way that feels icky.
You are quite literally the only person that actually answered OPs question. Thanks for these!
