I use Flipboard for most everything but getting sick of the ads

I also use Flipboard. I setup a pi-hole on my home network about 2 years ago and it blocks pretty much all the ads from Flipboard. It’s great when I’m at home, but when I’m anywhere else the ads come through. I’m usually browsing from home so this solution works for me.

Tons. I don’t like super political stuff but I do like reading local news sites to know what’s going on around my city and neighborhood. Also a bunch of food related sites, tech stuff…

I just discovered Ground News. It’s interesting because they rate news articles from sources based on their biases and factuality.

So for example they will post a headline and list all the news sources reporting on it and rate how left or right leaning it is overall, plus they seem to do a good job with rating how factual it is. I’ve found it helpful and what I was craving from the news.
