The whole website is just propaganda for Russia and China?

I'm not familiar with the website and Googling it is hard since 1945 was such an impactful year, but the person is easy to Google. He's a Senior Fellow at a think tank founded by Rand Paul supporters and funded by the Koch brothers.
That strongly implies he has a powerful interest in spreading GOP propaganda.
Can we block sources on Lemmy?
Not at the moment, but some mobile clients let you filter posts linking to specific domains.
Assuming Lemmy has mods, we should be able to set sublemmy policies about linking sources in posts, both a whitelist and a blacklist and then enforce them via bots the mods operate.
Apparently run out of a Staples store in a strip mall in Frederick Maryland.
