I stopped reading and watching mainstream media. I have also cut my social media use down to just Twitter and Parler for just 30 min per day. Substack is wonderful.

Hacker News, and signing up for people's newsletters when they write something good

In addition to here I also find that going to conferences or spaces with like-minded people is a great way to find interesting things on the internet. I've found the most interesting online communities from people I know in real life. A lot of people are often more likely to talk about cool things than they are to post about them.

I try to avoid filter bubble by doing following things. Not sure of its effectiveness though.

I try to use services w/o sign in when it's possible (reddit, youtube, google). i prefer this kind of services more over services which constantly wants me to sign in.

If some service requires sign in, and seems unavoidable then I try to limit my interactions on those platforms. (linkedin, facebook)

Basically I try to provide least amount my preference or feedback to any platform thinking I would get the generic feed/content. And I prefer using a Browser over apps.
