A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

No offense since Gen X and Boomers on Lemmy are inherently cool for being on the fediverse, but my Gen X father and Gen X coworkers have literally no idea who Kirk was prior to his death.

Their media consumption is still very old school, on average, and TV media is making him out to be some kind of motivational speaker. It's quite maddening.
