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:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

They've been trying to push Celsius energy drinks rather heavily lately. This could go two ways: hurt those efforts, or spread brand awareness far better than their marketing efforts so far (which the cynical side of me wants to suspect might have been the intention, but I have no basis for that gut feeling).

I actually tried a couple flavors a couple months ago, and couldn't stand the taste (but then I don't care for Red Bull, either, so my preferences may be questionable). As such they probably could use all the marketing - intentional or not - that they can get. At least that is the case while operating under the old "no such thing a bad publicity" mindset.
