Honestly, I know it’s not the same, but that’s why I have always gravitated towards “news aggregators”, basically the sites that bore progeny like Reddit and Lemmy, where you’re presented with links to news or random websites and people have their say about it in the comments.

These days that’s more common on Lemmy.
Lemmy now definitely reminds me of the very early days of reddit, enjoying it immensely
