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?

    for regular news article style news I use feedly and just have selected all the usual news organizations. for less formal “news” I was using reddit, but now I’m starting to use kbin I guess haha. I still use twitter as well.

      I started using feedly, it’s good! But then I realised I didn’t actually want the news, I wanted people having conversations about the news haha

        yup. it’s good for news like actual proper official official news. I use it to keep tabs on general political news as well as gaming news. but otherwise a lot of what i wanted was just the informal “hey this is a new thing lets talk about it” and the socialization that came with that.
