Ask SN: What are your go-to news sources/feeds for staying informed? \ stacker news ~tech

Github Release pages have RSS feeds. I subscribe to the release feeds of software I self-host so I can keep things up to date
- Home Assistant
- Traefik
- Bitcoin Core / various other bitcoin software projects
- Synapse Matrix server

"Social site" news:

Post-Reddit ... using Lemmy instances/communities I find interesting. Mostly on ml and world. Similar to HN RSS, I pick feeds for the "top stories in the week" which keeps the volume of news ~consistent.

Rust and various other programming languages
Self-hosting
Deep Rock Galactic (Rock and stone!)

Nebula for various videos without the noise of Youtube.

Various individuals who have personal sites, mostly tech operations folks.

Setup with FreshRSS

I check Damus/Nostr from time to time, but will eventually setup Nostr -> RSS so I can collect all the info into FreshRSS.

None, I try to avoid the news, because it's about things that won't happen, aren't happening, and never happened. Read this book to get a sense of what I'm talking about. The news isn't lies -- it's simply not capable of relaying the non-trivial aspects of reality.

Mainstream newspapers, 4chan and Twitter. Between those, you get a broad array of stories both mainstream and wacko. It's important to look at the fringes but also pointless to avoid MSM (in my opinion). It's also much easier to recognize the author's or media outlet's bias if you expose yourself to everything.

I occasionally check out aggregators, but many aggregators are only aggregating stuff with their own bias, so it's not much better than doing the above.

Minds has really good engagement once you find the right people.

Nostr less engagement than Minds (so far), but more focused on the subject areas as SN.

I follow independent news people like Kim Iversen and Tim Pool on Odysee. Many other finance, economics, and political personalities are on there too.

I'd love to see more people move to platforms like these from the Big Tech censorship platforms. Help grow the institutions needed for a free society, like you do with Bitcoin.

Why still using Facebook?

Network effect. A lot of my friends of my age are only there.

I curate my own list of news sites feeds available on Nostr: https://verityj.github.io/nostr-news-feeds

No way am I going anywhere else, especially to twitter or reddit or facebook or [insert other].

Hey, if you have suggestions for adding anything just let me know! Appreciate it.
