It's poorly copy-pasted news from other sites. And the comments under most posts there tend to be racist/violent (MAGA Boomers from Facebook). Although I just checked some articles and it seems like comments are disabled. Don't know how long that's been like that, but it's for the better.
Most news articles posted here from reputable sources are locked behind a paywall. So you have to rely on that author or someone with a subscription to post the text in the comments. For that reason, it's acceptable enough to me. Poorly edited news about Providence is still better than nothing, as long as I can actually read it.
That said, GoLocal doesn't skew left when it comes to politics, and that's why people here actually hate it. And it's usually very outspoken right wing people posting these links, which adds fuel to the fire.
Also I'm having a laugh at the fact that you're downvoted for asking a simple question. This sub is not friendly to people who don't think/know the same things that they do.
