A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I refuse. When anything says "just install out app" I'm out right then, no further reading required. It's even to the point where whenever someone tells me about X service or Y store or Z product, I specifically ask if there's an app since many (products, mostly) are starting to hide the app dependency until you open the box and there's some bullshit little card with a QR code.
