Honestly, just set up an RSS feed. The internet is a bunch of isolated echo-chambers where you self-select into the chamber with the narrative you favor.
I think almost all RSS feeds are just news aren't they? Maybe there is some collection of rss from personal blogs that are interesting to follow?
It can be news on topics you're interested in, blogs on topics you're interested in, comics, subreddits, etc. To give an idea, I follow:
Depending on your RSS app, you can also follow podcasts. I use InoReader for the above but I prefer a dedicated podcast app. There's good/entertaining RSS feeds on the internet if you're willing to curate it! It's nice to get away from internet comments.
The main problem with RSS, and it was nerfed like 10 years ago, is that websites realised they were giving up news without getting your page impressions so they stopped putting the full article on the feed.
Here's a collection of awesome RSS feeds I know about. I'm not too familiar with other lists but perhaps others are?
Found a nice list of resources for RSS. The internet really does feel like an echo-chamber now! There is so much noise to signal. Hopefully this post helps reduce the echoing a tad. I would love if you shared some tips for getting started with RSS if that's alright!
