I just discovered Ground News. It's interesting because they rate news articles from sources based on their biases and factuality.

So for example they will post a headline and list all the news sources reporting on it and rate how left or right leaning it is overall, plus they seem to do a good job with rating how factual it is. I've found it helpful and what I was craving from the news.

I recommend a RSS reader like Inoreader, FreshRSS, Tiny Tiny RSS

Add Reeder to that list, grabbing additional sources from feedly

Feedly. No ads unless the news article itself is an ad lol

Which feeds do you have?

[-] exterstellar@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Tons. I don't like super political stuff but I do like reading local news sites to know what's going on around my city and neighborhood. Also a bunch of food related sites, tech stuff...

Firefox desktop. It's like a meta-app which enables you to get your news in just about any format on a big ergonomic screen while seated in a soft and comfortable chair.

I also use Flipboard. I setup a pi-hole on my home network about 2 years ago and it blocks pretty much all the ads from Flipboard. It's great when I'm at home, but when I'm anywhere else the ads come through. I'm usually browsing from home so this solution works for me.

Feedly.

Both FreshRSS and Ground News

Boring Report and Read Less.

Both utilize AI to summarize and/or make bullet points of the article, while still allowing you to view the article. Still would like the choice to add more sources but it cuts through the clickbait and saves me a ton of time everyday.

I've been down the road with using a RSS reader. Even though I have nothing against them still today and wish to still use one, I was getting tired of sifting through articles from sources that were ads in disguise.

Artifact is working pretty well for me. I occasionally pop in to Google News for local coverage.

[-] baruchin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Inoreader for my traditional feeds, and Artifact. The latter is quite good to show you content you like.
