Hi there, looking for an alternative to news.google.com that just simply isn't a Google product. I know it's not open source per say, but just curious.

Obviously this community does not allow free speech To the user's question for an expressly **OpenSource **alternative to Google News, I have thanked another user's alternative of using RSS, considering it the best option. But also to help I have bothered to look for an OpenSource alternative to Google News and the only thing that corresponds to this criterion was Gab that most coincided with it, already independent of the evaluation that the user who was looking for it can give, which I do not know. If this here gives me bad Karma, I can only say goodbye to this community, may you do well with your Karma. Greetings, bye

Hi, where's the source for gab? I hate nazis but if they have developed a good piece of software i'd be tempted to fork it. Usually it goes the other way around with nazis forking lemmy/postmill/mastodon... I don't think that website is "open source" at all, even less so "free software". It's just a centralized platform like any other spurring proto-fascist disinformation. I'll pass :)

In the french speaking world we have mediaslibres.org, a simple planet taking RSS feeds from all autonomous news website. It's the only source of information i find reliable because it's moderated by non-profit communities and all information comes "from the ground" not from ivory towers. I dont know yet of an english speaking equivalent.
