I used to use Twitter as a news aggregation service but since links were suppressed there it no longer serves that purpose. Instead of a curation of news you get wholly self-referential social media debates internal to the platform itself. It’s no longer useful for news, or at least not primarily. Although the takeover of Twitter was ostensibly done in the name of attacking the media establishment it has paradoxically increased their power. To actually get news you have to go directly to news websites now, including the homepages, rather than to a third party curator like Twitter. For the first time in years I feel forced to check the New York Times or FT’s homepages just to get a basic sense of what’s going on as Twitter no longer provides that.

did you ever use artifact.news? if not was kind of like flipboard but with twitter style likes/comments, a really good AI recommender system, and rich profiles for outlets + journalists

i've entirely a different question: why do we have so many newsletters and still we don't get the most relevant stories in a single newsletter? and if we are subscribed to ten different newsletters, depending on what they are for, why is it that they share hundred other sources to serve the exact purpose?

I think these days checking NYT is as bad as Twitter in terms of accessing reliable information. Their credit has been going downhill pretty much parallel to Twitter's downfall.

Interesting. Having never spent much time on Twitter I didn’t realize what link suppression actually meant. But seems like another real opportunity to promote FC. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@askgina.eth can you find the recent news on the NYT, FT, and compare it to ground.news as a baseline?
