so I just learned that we landed on mars, and I'm wondering how you nanons stay up to date on current events without giving to the cancer of big news sites or social medias
also, before you ask, no, I don't have any friends

Zionhedge controled-op is good. For the record I support 'Israel' as place to deport all Jews.

For the most part I don't. Pigchan /pol/ used to be really good for news aggregation a couple of years ago, but after the cuckchan takeover it's a completely worthless site. Now I just use the invidious rss feeds to watch various jewtube retards to generally keep up with news, but it's honestly not a very good way at all to stay up to date on stuff since virtually every jewtube channel sucks dick. The only jewtubers who aren't absolute kikes are just these stupid pseudo alt-kike people who do more political commentary about their centre-right autism rather than just providing as much information as possible on current events.

Do you think it would be good to get hakas to make /new/ and use nanochan as a news aggregator? Personally I think it might work.

Kind of pointless unless you have a lot of people dedicated to routinely updating it with new threads. The reason why pigchan's /pol/ was such a great news aggregator is because for quite a long time in floated around an active user base that was just high enough to where you got important news the day it came out, but also low enough users that things weren't constantly getting slid by bots and paid shills. I'd rather just have any news posted to /pol/, a news board is kind of redundant.

Unz.com has some good commentary on current events. Zerohedge is fine as well. Mostly I don't, because most of it is pointless distraction from improving your own life. It's helpful come election time to know who to vote for, but unless you're doing some heavy investing news is just a really shitty form of entertainment.

The author is bananas, but he filters news down to the really interesting stuff and keeps opinions mostly to himself.
Democraticunderground.com is where I commune with my fellow white supremacists

As someone who has been following this topic, allow me to ramble briefly. Speaking from a mainstream media perspective, (((bloomberg))) was relatively centrist if jewed until approximately 2016. Since then, they have taken a noticeably hard-left tack into pro-Zionist positions. Coinciding with this shift, a number of mainstream sites also adjusted to an anti-trump but pro-Israel position -- this has slowly spread throughout most of the mainstream media by this point.

I'm still searching for a semi-decent "respectable" news source, but I have been unable to find anything. As a stopgap (and this isn't saying much), I'm currently using WSJ mainly for financial/international news and bing news aggregator for an overview of current topics.
zerohedge was also mentioned above, which is a dubious-but-acceptable site (note: don't rely on any financial advice on there).

Lastly, a piece of advice: if a headline ends in a question mark, that means there are no facts in the article. If there were facts, the headline would be a statement, not a question.

RT is probably the fastest reporting site for breaking news. If you get their twitter or news notifications, you'll be in good shape for most happenings.

The reason things weren't being slid was because the mods were awake during American news hours, which is really when everything important happens.
It seems like it shouldn't be so, but basically nothing in the world really happens when American shitposters are asleep. 3AM EST - 10AM EST, barely anything ever happens.

2 years ago pigchan was relatively dead compared to how it it is now. 99% of why any imageboard becomes shit is simply popularity. It isn't feasible to moderate a forum without accounts in the age of VPNs and phone posters when it reaches a certain level of active posters.

/pol/ pph 461 active users 2824

currently as of now:
/pol/ pph 278 active users 2398
/v/ pph 213 active users 2229

The only difference now is that the content is shit compared to how it used to be.

Remember that pph varies heavily with the time of day, so you need to be careful to do an apples to apples comparison.

No matter the comparison, pig-fag is wrong.
You can be mad at the mason and his mutt son, but 8ch is still fred's creation and we had good times there. The only people who hate the site itself (calling it pigchan or 8gag or something similarly cringy) are bitter communists and jews. They may as well start bitching about "Drumpf"

8chan was great. Pigchan is not great.
What's currently known as 8chan is what we refer to as pigchan.

Not him but there's no way to know really. It's fairly evident that the main boards are being either bot-posted or constantly shit-posted and not the funny one-liner/imagemacro kind, but deliberately trying to either lower the quality of the board or boost its post rate, maybe both.
