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.

I kept going for way too long before shifting to hn. The comments on slashdot were so adversarial that whatever you post expect to be called an idiot. Plus having to scroll past the ASCII art swastika every day got to me and I wouldn't want my wife looking over my shoulder.

Nothing else comes close tbh. I probably lack some worthwhile cultural hinterland due to HN's liberal but sciencey remit. Arts & Letters Daily would be a good addition. But there's nothing that really feels of comparable value for me personally and I've tried many of the options that are suggested here and have been before in these kinds of threads.

I was going to add Arts & Letters Daily to my other comment as another mention. A&L Daily is an interesting feed but I have to admit I don't read it as often as something like HN and haven't kept track of it in awhile. It doesn't have the "current news" character of something like HN and is a bit hit or miss in terms material feeling compelling enough to read thoroughly, at least for me personally.

At the same time, A&L Daily curates a certain type of content that I haven't seen targeted anywhere else in a feed/aggregation. There's a certain amount of overlap with HN, but it's kind of complementary. I wish there was something like A&L Daily that was updated more often, with more material, but maybe it's just not out there.
