@FillyAgioro Well of course, the fediverse an open network, anyone can join it. So you don't have any one person dictating what qualifies as news and censoring people. You also joined a free speech instance where censoring other instances is not something we do unless they are outright abusive.

You do have options though:

1) you can block whole instances from your account. If you block those instances that lean in the direction that disagrees with whatever your personal bias is for "real news" then you get the sort of news you dont personally consider fake. Its much easier than twitter since you dont block individuals but instances which cover thousands of people at a time many times.

2) you can join a non-free speech instance that actively blocks you from seeing much of the fediverse and actively prevents you from browsing instances they deem incompatible with the instances personal bias. Presuming you pick an instance that matches your own personal biases you will get a view of the fediverse that lacks what you would consider fake news.
