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?

    Thanks for the recommendations and info! That’s another thing on my to-do list, I’m planning on making my main PC do dual-boot with Windows 10 and Linux and once Windows 11 gets forced I’m done with Microsoft (but that’s a whole other conversation lmao).

      Definitely, I’ve used it on all my personal PCs for most of the last 10 years (plus). It’s gotten even easier in the past 3-4 years since gaming support has gotten so good (check your faves on protondb.com and see for yourself).
