What the fuck is going on with some of these comments. You can dislike the wealthy but still feel empathy for human beings (maybe) dying an horrific death.

I think the older core of reddit has always viewed itself as a bottom-up community, rather than a social media platform. Reddit won't die for now, but this is a sobering wakeup call from that idea.

Reddit is no freehaven, it's now just another company, and slowly everyone on it will get squeezed into the businessmold...

What's the best place to get news now? (lemmy.world)

I got a lot of my headlines from reddit. Due to the impending death of my favorite app (Sync for Reddit) however, that's coming to an end.

I'm now realising my Reddit experience had deteriorated slowly, just doomscrolling the hours away wasn't healthy and I'm even kind of glad this is a good reason to end it. However, reddit has been really useful for news, especially the comments (taken with the right amount of skepticism) could be very informative.

I hope Lemmy builds something similar, but the defederation of beehaw's news has been a setback.

What would be a good alternative, going forward, for getting news and backgrounds from varied, trustworthy en unbiased sources?
