Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I had the exact same question some months ago: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30340942 before I decided to swear off news completely haha.
Oh nice! I'm trying to do the same. Looking for more long form, thought-provoking stuff instead of the fire hose of soundbites and rage bait
I got a tip about "Delayed Gratification", slow journalism magazine: https://www.slow-journalism.com/ Might be something for you too! They write in-depth articles and release a new magazine every 3 months, reflecting on those past 3 months.
hey, neat! thanks!

High quality, but manageable quantity. As a bonus you will be supporting professional journalism. The traditional business model of journalism has been turned upside down by the internet. The parallel with the last two decades of polarization and rising extremism may not be completely coincidental.
