Drudge is a great aggregator but my goodness it has strong political biases. I used to pair Salon.com visits with drudge to get contrasting spins, but a year or two ago Salon went all link-baity fluff. For a while qz.com was amazing until they re-designed their home page and removed 50 IQ points from the content (ditto for fivethirtyeight.com). At this point my news sources are mainly reduced to the great-but-comical…

> US-moderate or left of US-center news aggregator that acts like its readers are intelligent Other than perhaps on Twitter it's hard to find such a thing. Most news outlets are very biased, low-brow and clickbaitey these days, it's hard to be profitable otherwise. That being said, I'd personally categorize them as follows: "Pro-Establisment" left of US center: NYT, Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Atlantic, The Econo…

Extreme right wing?

Breitbart nor Blaze seem to be extreme.

I think Daily Mail is a very good aggregator of political news, as I am not too sure about the rest of the news they present.

id love to try out lobste.rs but i cant seem to get an invite, and commenting is one of the biggest parts of these kinds of sites to me.

HN thread on lobste.rs https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4452384 Invites are supposedly via irc chat https://lobste.rs/chat

> New contributors are always welcome on Lobsters, but pestering other members in the channel for invites is not acceptable. If you are the author or otherwise involved with a story that was submitted to the site, ask and someone will invite you. Alternately, offer some good links or thoughts on a story and someone will likely invite you so can post them.

Seems like you'd usually need some kind of reason/action to get into the community that first time.

Accessing HN with Firefox (if your web history is turned on) does exactly that[1]. No extension is necessary. The same is true for every other browser since the CSS file it clearly says: a:link { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; } a:visited { color:#828282; text-decoration:none; } [1] http://i.imgur.com/CqKW1yK.png

Sorry, didn't mean just visited links. I want unvisited (but seen) links to be treated differently. Example: I visit once, scan 30 links, click 2, and leave. Come back 2 hours later, there are 5 new links, 5 have dropped off, and my attention is drawn to just the five new links, regardless of whether I visited the other 25 or not.

For links: your favourite RSS reader.

If you do manage to get signed up, would you be able to send an invite my way? Thanks

I can send you an invite too but you need to put your email address in your profile.
