No clue, because the general quality and incentives of the news business is so terrible. I enjoy Techmeme[1] and sumi.news[2], though. 1. https://techmeme.com/river 2. https://sumi.news. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Two things I read: https://sumi.news/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events Just for a quick sweep. Then I open Twitter/X and browse to my local news site. This takes at most 5 minutes to skim world (and local) events and catch up. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Sumi News[0] is a good non-biased sweep of current events, aswell as Wikipedia's current events page[1] [0] https://sumi.news/ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

The weirdest community I ever found online was not on reddit, but it's own site. It was a hyper-vegan cultish thing with about 5 active users and a lot of intentionally obscure language (a LOT of references to "meat" as an essence of life). It started out as the blog of a terminally-ill disabled Russian incel and his ravings, but for some reason slowly changed into an English-language forum about this stuff. I... Source: 12 months ago

Im using html on neocities now for th epoint of learning, but how do I do this on another platform? Neocities is good for learning, but its not capable of ever turning into what I want to see.
