I used to use flipboard, then once I got hooked on Reddit I got lazy and just started getting all my news from there.

Since this place is still getting its start thought I might go back to one to supplement me. Where you guys get your news?

This looks seriously good! Could you help me understand the benefits of subscribing? They mention things like "Compare Articles from 50,000+ News Sources" and "Media Bias Ratings" but it looks like I can get that without subscribing.

Really dont know what you get from subscribing.. even when browsing down low and clicking for more articles you get a "subscribe to read more" popup but just pressing ESC lets you read the newly loaded articles anyway.. I like the new ChatGPT summary for left / right media narratives and the Ownership tags of the different outlets.. really paints a clear view of the narrative being pushed by different outlets

Reminder that we are here because reddit wasn't making enough money. If you like it then finance it.

Seems like an appropriate time to remind people we can buy Ernest coffee for all his hard work to give us kbin!

I'll have a look at this ground.news, seems like it was founded by a Canadian.

I'm testing this: https://theconversation.com/

10 ways we are different

This looks great.

I've been using Mastodon (i follow the NYT, the Guardian, the Telegraph, Reuters, and some other news sources). I also look at link / forum sites like Hacker News. I've been trying out the following, too:
