Ashamed to say still Slashdot, have it in my RSS, old habits die hard. Otherwise various reddit subs since people are quick to post breaking news in whatever field I'm interested in. Then a bunch of newspapers/sources from around the world to try and get a balanced overview of things.

What happened to the comments? Fifteen or so years back you would read things which were occasionally insightful. Now it's mostly shit posting.

There's still the occasional insightful comment or discussion, but mostly it's useless. Like a lot of stuff in my RSS the headlines are enough.

I actually found Hacker News through https://brutalist.report/ . Nice conglomeration of headlines/links from lots of different sources. Lots of tech and science, but also a good mix of global news.

I love this, thank you!

I’m active on https://tildes.net . It’s invite only but got an influx of new users the last couple of days with the Reddit changes. If someone wants an invite, let me know by email (see profile).

Looks interesting. Sent you an email.

Possibly not what you're asking since it's nothing like HN, but the other two sites I constantly check for news are theguardian.com and spiegel.de (because I'm German).

Quite hilarious when I read about some Elon Musk drama or similar in the main stream news before it shows up on HN - usually stories I end up finding in both turn up on HN first.

That's all I read - no social media or anything, too much noise, costs too much time. I'm just trying to keep an eye on what's going on in my country, the world and my field. Used to read Slashdot and others for the latter, but lately I noticed HN has pretty much everything I find relevant (and the odd delightful oddity, my favourites).

For general world news&commentary I've chosen Axios and The Conversation. For the quick&dirty pulse check on tech/science trends or rumors - Futurism and Futurity.
