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?

    But the protests make no difference anyway so why bother?

    And why does your opinion on Ukraine matter, are you an admiral or field marshal? Can you change anything anyway?

    Better to spend that time learning new songs on guitar, playing new video games, discovering new movies, or areas to go hiking, cities to go travelling, cooking and restaurants, etc. - actually enjoy life. It is short.

      I beg to differ, protests matter. At least here (Romania) they made those in power revert some bad legislation after seeing massive protests. Don’t mean to insult or anything, but this apathic approach towards civil society is a big factor in eroding democracy.
      Again, if enough people think a certain narrative then it will affect the events.
      You can both have a decent awareness of things around you and enjoy life to its fullest in my opinion.
