How diverse are your sources of information?

I get all my news from Trump's Truth Social account because reality always ends up being wrong whereas Trump is always right.
I mean, it says Truth right in the title. How could it not be? /s

Fairly diverse, I think?
I watch long-form video on Youtube and read news stories on AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, and other places. I don't really watch network news or get my info from corporate social media, knowing that the algorithms that drive those sites are programmed to feed me information that is going to deliberately anger me.
I still get a lot of stress from this place. Frankly, sometimes I wonder why I even logon. It could be my viewpoints, interactions, or other things going on in my life. But the tension seems to track with use.

Then you`re likely far left. Are you a libertarian socialist/communist type?
I don’t really have an ism. I’m not well read on any of them tbh, but I think all forms of government are fundamentally unstable just because of human nature. I just want whoever or whatever’s in charge to help people and work towards equality. I think the left generally let’s “perfect” get in the way of “better”, so I try to avoid ism conversations.

I use RSS feeds.
For international news - BBC, Global Canada, and Christian Science Monitor (don't let the name fool ya, I haven't seen a religious article in over a year).
I also follow a variety of tech, science, local, and government feeds.

There's no personal algorithm here though, it's entirely self inflicted.

I know. Or, I should say, I feel that's probably the case, and thank you for saying so, that it's me to some degree. Maybe all 360°! Not sure what it means though, for me. But thanks again!

Diverse how? I get most of my news from like 5 podcasts and from Lemmy. They’re pretty biased towards the left though. Lemmy is probably the closest to neutral I get.

There is absolutely nothing even remotely "neutral" about Lemmy.

almost all mainstream MSN are biased towards the right, even if they are not outright fox or fox-lite cnn. very hard to find any true "left leaning news" or neutral.

Fairly diverse. I try to avoid the censorship and propaganda across the spectrum as much as possible.
The fediverse isn't quite there yet thanks to mod abuse and agendas, but it has the potential to be a bastion of free speech where truly diverse ideas can be available for all to see and partake in.
Just about all social media and mainstream news is shit because of censorship. You either see it, or you don't. There's a culture that people are being conditioned to uphold, and anything that threatens said culture is suppressed as much as possible.
