I don’t get my news from any social media platform, including lemmy, no offense to lemmy. I used to do that with reddit, but it’s just too unhinged getting your news that way.

I stick with Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times, in that order. I also use Google News specifically for local news, but I don’t even peek at the main world news feed there.

More generally speaking, I stick to the old school human editorial board for my news. News that’s presented to me on AP, for example, has already been filtered by a board of humans who are smarter than me and whose opinions I trust on the state of the world. Opening up your selection of news to an easily gameable social media algorithm is just more trouble than it’s worth, in my opinion.

Thunder was pretty snappy. I didn’t know about that one, so I tried it just now. I’m afraid to say I think I like Liftoff better still, because Thunder uses swipe gestures for a few things and is missing a few “top” sorts, but it seemed like it has potential.

Liftoff is what I’ve settled on, so far. I’ve found it to have the best performance of all the Android options.

Cool, sounds like it’s coming along well. I’ll give it another shot next update or so :)

Glad you liked it! Yeah, I love Perlman’s rendtion, but Heifetz’s just takes the cake for me. The ending is too real.
