Y’all, how do you guys get your news?

I live in Canada and this legislation called Bill C-18 has sort of messed things up in the past year.

If you get your news typically from social media, a lot of platforms have-- I say a lot, but it’s really just Meta, but because they own so much, they’ve stopped allowing the publication of Canadian news on their platforms. So all I’m getting is American news.

I get enough of that from TikTok, you guys. It’s harder and I know that you’re not supposed to be getting your news all at one place and that social media kind of messes up the integrity of news, but whatever, it’s just so much easier when there’s, they’re all in one place.

I host an RSS reader on my website and it really is just set up to aggregate all of the news from different publications that have RSS feeds, but sometimes it gets overwhelming to have to sift through over 100 articles per day to find the ones that are relevant to me.

Well, I’m looking for ideas here, you guys. Are there more elegant ways to go about this?

If you have ideas, please share.

    And I’m experimenting with using AI to organize news for me (I wish RSS was still popular for this instead).

      Pretty much all the major news outlets still publish to RSS. I use RSS for my news and was able to find feeds from my preferred news sources. I’m sure not all publish, but CBC does for sure.
