Ask Lemmy

Fairly diverse. I try to avoid the censorship and propaganda across the spectrum as much as possible.

The fediverse isn't quite there yet thanks to mod abuse and agendas, but it has the potential to be a bastion of free speech where truly diverse ideas can be available for all to see and partake in.

Just about all social media and mainstream news is shit because of censorship. You either see it, or you don't. There's a culture that people are being conditioned to uphold, and anything that threatens said culture is suppressed as much as possible.

I get all my news from Trump's Truth Social account because reality always ends up being wrong whereas Trump is always right.

I use the Fediverse, word of mouth, and https://verity.news/

Diverse how? I get most of my news from like 5 podcasts and from Lemmy. They’re pretty biased towards the left though. Lemmy is probably the closest to neutral I get.

Lemmy, and YouTube.

I used to subscribe to Morning Brew, but I got frustrated with the constant emails I needed to read everyday instead of only when I wanted to see the news.

I've heard good things about Ground News, but I can't afford to spend money on yet another subscription service.

Fairly diverse, I think?

I watch long-form video on Youtube and read news stories on AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, and other places. I don't really watch network news or get my info from corporate social media, knowing that the algorithms that drive those sites are programmed to feed me information that is going to deliberately anger me.

Mostly just YouTube, Reddit, Bluesky, and now Lemmy. If something interests me I'll dig more into it on other sites.

I use FreshRSS pretty heavily and source my feeds from threads like these over the years. Almost exclusively written articles since it's just time efficient. I don't pay attention to any political video news, streamers, or podcasts. I'd like to say it's quite diverse. My Canadian news feeds lately I've removed USA owned sources entirely. It's basically enemy state media and it weirds me out how comfortable Canadians still are reading shit owned by Republicans directly or indirectly. Including the Canada communities here. Ew.

When I want to go outside I actually use email heavily still. I have aliases which sort into dedicated folders for promotion and newsletters. Then I see all the concerts, stage shows, festivals, events, theater schedules, big name comedians, dive bar comedians, whatever happenings etc etc local to me. I hoover up all the sources I can for that.

Aggregator fediverse here is how I blow idle time at work, which is most of my work day so I post a lot on the clock. Like right now! Haha. I love aggregators for tech hobbies especially because people share smaller projects I'd otherwise never hear about be it fun or useful.

Youtube/Twitch subs are all nerd shit and variety streams. A few artists mixed in like Peter Draws.

I still regularly visit SomethingAwful forums, pick up more info there and then less visted stuff from my labyrinthine web browser bookmarks nested folders built up over decades.

CKUA is our local public donor supported radio station. That's the only radio channel I listen to and there's no political segments. I pick up a lot of new music and poetry from here and gush about The Road Home.

I use RSS feeds.

For international news - BBC, Global Canada, and Christian Science Monitor (don't let the name fool ya, I haven't seen a religious article in over a year).

I also follow a variety of tech, science, local, and government feeds.

Reading exposes you to a lot of detailed viewpoints.

Attention-economy pushes party-lines and homogenised dogmas.

NOS, Ground News, Deutsche Welle, Fox, CNN,

Vaush, Asmongold, JBP, Jubilee, Shoe0nHead

So yeah, pretty diverse
