I got a lot of my headlines from reddit. Due to the impending death of my favorite app (Sync for Reddit) however, that’s coming to an end.
I’m now realising my Reddit experience had deteriorated slowly, just doomscrolling the hours away wasn’t healthy and I’m even kind of glad this is a good reason to end it. However, reddit has been really useful for news, especially the comments (taken with the right amount of skepticism) could be very informative.
I hope Lemmy builds something similar, but the defederation of beehaw’s news has been a setback.
What would be a good alternative, going forward, for getting news and backgrounds from varied, trustworthy en unbiased sources?
I use an app called Artifact that aggregates news from many sources into a FYP and categories. There’s even comments for each article.
I’m going to try it
That looks pretty cool, thanks!
Artifact looks good, but after playing with it for a while I don’t think I can deal with the account if ads and autoplaying videos in articles on an unfiltered internet… Might try opening everything in an ublock-fortified external browser, but that’s a bit of a pain tbh.
@Radicalized I saw some articles on artifact bearing the sign ‘rewritten using an AI’ and backed out of using the app to avoid that
Nothing is “rewritten using AI.” There is a button at the top of each article that gives you an AI-generated summary of the article, but the article remains untouched and wholly visible.
I’ve been using Artifact lately as well and it’s been pretty good. You can tell it things you’re interested in and it’ll show you articles from different sites. It’s been great.
