And with that, some questions.
Should I sign up for Twitter for news? Or should I say 'Fuck Elon' and not get a Twitter?
I get most of my news from Hexbear anyway.
Also, I have a Telegram. What news sources does Hexbear recommend on Telegram?

..but ultimately sites like this, twitter etc get their news from places like the BBC ..and you know the right constantly accuses the BBC of far-left bias?

Most alternative media also regurgitates and spins these sources anyway. The novelty of citizen journalism has turned out to be euphemistic for grifts and fake news.

Concerns about bias in news feel almost quaint like the faux news days compared to the dead web theory of today. Telling somebody to check out gray zone, telesur or cgtn as if they will get the “good stuff” and change their minds seems so self defeating.
