I find without the stream of people I had curated for years to be pretty diverse in interest subject matter I tend to just frequent the same haunts every day.
What do you do to discover new things or stay on top of what's going on?
Disclaimer: I've been able to follow a few people to Mastodon but it seems some interest feeds have just dropped dead.
https://sumi.news/ (One quick sweep of current events)
https://pinboard.in/popular (Everything that is trending on the web)
And of course, Hackernews (I regularly browse /newest when I am feeling serendipitous).
It's also very nice that you can only scroll through only 2 screens of news than you have to wait.
This to avoid the infinite scroll of the Facebook Newsfeed where you keep scrolling for too long and the news get less and less relevant and then you have the feeling of vomiting like when you eat too many candies at once.
