Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

5. Only recent news is allowed.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

6. All posts must be news articles.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Why more and more people are tuning the news out: ‘Now I don’t have that anxiety’ (www.theguardian.com)

Emotional toll of constant negative news and unlimited access to ‘doomscrolling’ has led to record-high news avoidance

News has never been more accessible – but for some, that’s exactly the problem. Flooded with information and relentless updates, more and more people around the world are tuning out.

The reasons vary: for some it’s the sheer volume of news, for others the emotional toll of negative headlines or a distrust of the media itself. In online forums devoted to mindfulness and mental health, people discuss how to step back, from setting limits to cutting the news out entirely.

Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna try this out. I'm not sure which websites would offer it, it's mainly gonna be news websites right? With Lemmy I'm missing a lot of content related to my work/hobbies but I'm not sure there's a ton of "news" websites that would cater to that (mainly would be for filmmaking/camera/3D/music), but I'll look around.

I think sometimes the underlying website doesn't even know they're offering it because it's built into the blogging software. I would think it's going to be mostly supported by sites that follow an article style blogging format... So a lot of news, but probably other bloggers too.

I'd also recommend picking a local affiliate and trying those out. I like getting news specific to my local area, and my local CBS affiliate has RSS support.

I got started with it this morning, it works great! I'm not sure what affiliates I could get but I started a mix of specialized websites/blogs as well as general news like BBC etc, the feed looks great already.

Obviously it doesn't come with comments and that kinda sucks, since that's the main reason I enjoy aggregators like Reddit/Lemmy in the first place but at least I now have a catered feed, let's see if I stick with it.

Glad you were able to get started. I find the lack of news site comments to be a feature from my perspective. 😆
