    I finished building an RSS for myself so I can pick the good newsources and let the shitty ones be.

    This is such a, well, simple thing people seem to have forgotten still exists. Pair it with Firefox, uBO and NoScript, and it’s like reading a paper from 20 years ago, except just shit you might be interested in.

      Exactly. And even if there isn’t an RSS available some of the paid RSS servers will webscrape for you. I have been building my own webscraping code but it works. I just decided I need to put some distance between myself and the abusive way we are presented news these days.

        Congratulations for discovering the reason I’m here. News has become a toxic space I felt a need to fix somewhere … it’s the First Amendment, and everyone’s worried about guns. And let’s not get started on the 14th.
