A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.
Rules:
- Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
- Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
- Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
- Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
- No link shorteners
- No entire article in the post body

Yeah, I have visited Reddit a handful of times the last couple of years because there was no active community here for something I needed help with or to find more info about. And it's such a weird place now, all comments look like they're from bots, children or just incredibly dumb people. It's like a weird fever dream, very disturbing.
They made dead internet theory real because 'next quarter profits' brain.
I'm sure it's fine for the communities that people go back to, like the niche ones. But yeah, the big subs are weird and sterile.
