Luckily, the algorithm doesn't rule Lemmy, and Lemmy is pretty left-wing in general. Always good to stay alert, though. Fuck chuds trying to claim history for their own purposes.

The content appearing on the “timeline” was primarily related to ancient history and culture with a slight European leaning.

Does anybody have suggestions to improve my East Asian and particularly Chinese history? I made a list of familiar overlapping contemporaries as far back as I could a while a go, and the main thing I learned is that I have a massive blindspot there. I barely squeaked through the mid 1100's and crapped out at Sappho or Ashurbanipal, but if I knew who the fuck "Xi of Zhou" or "Qinzong of Song" was I could have done better.
