Does anyone know FLOSS replacements for Ground News?

I’ve seen some good things Ground News does.

Like seeing the same story under different media outlets and seeing representation of a story across the political spectrum.

I currently use RSS feed readers, I think something like what Ground is, would help organize my media at least.

This is the website: https://web.ground.news/

    Ground news is a service, if you like it, pay for it.

    That kind of stuff is not where FOSS excels

      I could see an alternative where the community curates and assigns the political learnings.

      But yeah, otherwise it is just a service.

            I see a lot of Marxism, Leninism and Stalinism. but people here are also more socialist in general.

            Socialiam is just people lying about communist tendencies because from each according to their ability to each accorsing to their contribution is foolish, as their output from capability is the contribution. To say otherwise is just more convoluted communism because you are juat changing the value metric on what their need is in the communist base ideaology of from each according to their ability to each according to their need.

              Can’t understand this, you’ll have to simplify.

              If you mean to say socialism is communism lite. Sure, that’s exactly what it is. That’s a good transitory model.

              Direct transition is susceptible to hijacking by fascists.

    Hi, I want to warn you about services claiming to sell “unbiased” advice : Ground news is biased, their alignment of left and right is subjective as all politics is.

      Not just that, but their definition of “left” often veers into the downright ludicrous. Sometimes i think the whole thing is just another psyop to move the Overton window ever farther right.

        They do make it possible to adjust the ratings on your own account for the ones you disagree on. It doesn’t affect the newsletters, but I find those to be too american-specific anyway

        Yeah, as a french person it still shock me that some US are considered left leaning when they are just billionaires mouth pieces.

        Yeah, the definitions are actually more about alignment with the US political parties rather than left or right. And since both parties are demonstrably right of center, just to different degrees, the bias meter should only be used to determine which political party’s sponsors likely biased the article.

        For example, an article saying climate change is not human caused and presenting debunked evidence will be ranked mostly center and second mostly right. But an article calling for incentives to reduce use of fossils fuels will be ranked mostly left. That’s mostly center if anything. An article calling for the government to explicitly force companies to stop using fossil fuels would be mostly left and center. One further advocating for the government to take over energy companies that don’t comply and make energy production public would be mostly left. Just presenting scientific evidence and refusing to give a voice to debunked “alternative facts” is not a leftist position, it’s a centrist one at best and should be the baseline.

      That’s just called jellyfin

      But yeah, it’s the content that matters. Getting movies is easy enough, but getting reliable news ?

    I know Google sucks, and it’s not foss obviously, but I generally just use news.google.com to view numerous takes on each story by dozens of outlets. Really helps figure out what is actually happening
