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?

    This. And you see how some stuff is just sensationalised bullshit.

    Like I heard a little bit about the debt ceiling “crisis” - was like, I bet they’ll just make an agreement right before like last time… and then weeks later that’s exactly what happened.

    There’s so much sensationalism and doomerism, it really isn’t healthy.
