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.

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.
