Find us on the open social web
plainews auto-posts its daily brief to the open social web. No tracking, no algorithm; same content as on the site.
- Bluesky: @plainews.com
- Mastodon & the Fediverse:
@plainews.com@bsky.brid.gy — paste this handle into your Mastodon (or any ActivityPub) client's search to follow. Posts are bridged from Bluesky via Bridgy Fed.
- RSS: plainews.com/rss — two feeds: headlines (hourly) and daily brief (twice daily, with article-level source citations).
What we can help with
- Bugs & technical issues — broken links, reader mode failures, loading problems, mobile display issues
- Content concerns — if you believe an article is mislabeled, contains misinformation, or has an incorrect bias rating
- Takedown requests — plainews links to original sources and does not host article content. Takedown requests should go to the original publisher. We will remove a link if directed to by the publisher.
- Source suggestions — know a reliable news source we’re missing? Let us know.
- Accessibility — if plainews is not accessible on your device or connection, tell us and we’ll fix it.
- Press & partnerships — media inquiries, research collaborations, or partnership opportunities
What we cannot help with
- Editorial disagreements — we do not editorially control which stories AI surfaces, but we can review systematic bias concerns
- Bias rating disputes — bias ratings come from AllSides and Ad Fontes Media; contact them directly to dispute outlet ratings
- Third-party article content — for errors or corrections in a linked article, contact the original publisher
