My Dad was hugely into ham radio throughout the time I was growing up, and yeah, it was the quintessential nerd hobby before home computers came along.

Hacker News has long been one of my main news sources. The majority of postings are tech-related but there’s a lot of more general content and the moderation is very good. https://news.ycombinator.com/ . I generally use Feedly to browse it.

For excellent, in-depth analysis of world events/politics/economics there’s the UK-based publication The Economist - https://www.economist.com/ - which is a paid service (expensive!) but has a lot of free content on the site, esp. if you’re signed-up, even as a free user. It’s not an aggregator though - more like a better NY Times without all the stupid fluff.

Sounds great to me, but I’m not sure how many average people would be willing to learn to use git and get an account at the repo host just to submit update suggestions. It would be nice if the site owner had some documentation up explaining their plans, if any, for how this will operate in the longer term.

A handful off the top of my head (not sure if these sub names are case-sensitive in any way or not):
QAnonCasualties
PeopleofWalmart
Engrish
Spokane (the city in WA)
Seattle
Boston
AntifascistsofReddit
Scala
Fsharp
fatlogic

I didn’t think to save my subscription list (duh) and I’ll be damned if I’m going to log in again to do so. I’m done with Reddit at least until they fire that absolute ass of a CEO and back off on all of his dumbshit money-grubbing schemes. That means ‘probably never’ and I’m 100% fine with that, fuck them and a hearty hello to the fediverse.
