TikTok mostly, a few SoMe Journalists I follow, like Under The Desk News and Lisa Ren Millard. But also Google News for more wide coverage.
No judgement, but I would be very, very careful about getting the majority of your news from TikTok.
Under the Desk news focuses on subjects that matter to me, and Lisa is dead center. So I am carful, but thank you. Also, like I said, I don't just use those two sources for my news.
Fair.
TikTok is still an inherently terrible platform for unbiased and reliable information considering it's a Chinese owned company, meaning that regardless of what ByteDance says to the public, they have close ties to the CCP and are under their direct influence.
I'm not super familiar with either one of those, but doing some basic quick research, I would question the judgement of a journalist that would put all their eggs in an untrustworthy platform basket.
Just be mindful of that, that's all.
Lucky you're not on the .ml instance lol
Why?
.ml is communist. A lost of people there are pro-ccp
That's hilarious. Thanks for the heads up.
I see you’re getting downvoted even though you respectfully answered the question, looks like the Reddit tradition of downvoting anything you disagree with to bury it is alive and well here on Lemmy
Yeah, nothing ever changes. People are assholes for the most part.
I don't get how people don't understand that down voting for stuff like this is not good for the communities overall health.
OP asked a question, and you answered it. You weren't shilling, so what's the issue?
Yep, doesn't really surprise me anymore. If I cared about votes I might care, but I'd have to value the down voters opinion for it to matter to me, and I really don't.
I just tried Google News, but it seems like their interface is designed for mobile even though I'm on a desktop. Like, it doesn't use most of the screen space. But I'm sure on mobile it's a more pleasant experience
