Now that everyone’s cancelling their WaPo and Amazon Prime subscriptions, it’s a great time to subscribe to some better news sources.

Everyone needs to pay the bills. If places that tell the truth about what’s going on keep starving for money, they’re going to die, and that’s bad. We’ll have CNN and Sean Hannity and Amazon Prime News Brought to You By Jeff Bezos, and that’ll be it.

If you do decide to do this, may I offer these Lemmy communities as easy ways you can keep subscribed to the new stuff that comes out of these once you’re subscribed, and comment on them. It also doesn’t have to be hard-paywall sources. A lot of places without paywalls still offer ways to donate and keep them alive, and I don’t think they should get punished for doing that.

This is what I did today. I was going to subscribe to Foreign Policy and The Atlantic, but I balked at The Atlantic’s yearlong sub. I just did FP, and I will probably subscribe to one other one at some point. Probably either MIT Technology Review or Mother Jones.

Here’s a good list of stuff that I offer as Lemmy feeds. The sticky post has a more complete list, but some of the really good ones are:

Politics and News

Tech News

Environment and Climate

Enjoy. Also! Make sure that you keep leaving those comments that just say, “Paywall,” under the posts in communities which are all paywalled stories, posted by a bot called “paywall.” That really helps me out when you do that, so keep doing it please.
