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?

    go to ground.news, they have news from both sides of the spectrum and label them as such and it’s kind of like a reddit for news?? world news specifically tho

      While i like the idea on principle, I think they have a lot of bothsideism on their site. Dividing everything into “left” or “right” is not a really valid approach.

        That’s such a leftrightcenterupdownist perspective. Shoulda known better than to cheat a friend and waste the chance that I’ve been given. So I’m never gonna dance again the way I danced with youuu oh oh.

        Now tbh I don’t read ground news. I have a friend who does. I don’t care about news. I dislike reading about world drama. It’s tiring and unnecessary. Life goes on all the same. News are coarse and get everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.
