I'm especially curious about news articles as those have a very short window for when they would be interesting/relevant. As apposed to a meme someone could have saved for years and it will still be funny. Like do you have specific news sites you frequent or RSS feeds or what?

Take a look at the websites that posts you like link to and then check them out yourself regularly or use RSS as you mentioned.

Or just steal submissions from Reddit IDK

I mean I know how I could, I'm asking how you all do. Or what news websites are favorites.

I've been using Ground News for a while for things news related. It's a news aggregator that sorts things according to factuality and bias, and I've found it to be pretty fair overall. It even lets you override the bias settings of certain publications if you disagree with the ones set by default.

Following some people on twitter and youtube, some kind of network of interests.

Mainly Google News. I do need to get my old feeds up and running but I have the News algorithm well trained at this point.

Nothing like a well trained algorithm haha. Although I've been trying to de-google myself as much as possible as well.

That's a difficult one to get rid of or ignore. If anyone has an alternative I'm all ears.

For news and search I have no idea. But I've been moving email, calander, drive, and password manager over to Proton. Im just starting with it but you definitely give up some convenience for the peace of mind.

News apps, RSS feeds and online communities.

Apple News is decent in that you can pick and choose your interests and hide certain news sources. Associated Press AP News app is great too. I’m in Canada so I also have the CBC and CTV apps. For RSS, I use Feedly app. It has a good discovery mechanism but most the time I manually add urls of sites I want to follow.

Other than that, I get shared links in different slack workspaces and discord servers.

I just Google shit I’m interested and use Google News to find places to read about it
