Is there a #privacy preserving alternative to MSN/Yahoo news that let's you read news scraped from several sources on 1 platform, without having to enter the #news websites with all the tracking?
FeedFlow, Feeder, Read You. These three are the ones I have seen on F-Droid official repo. If you search on the internet, you can find many other platforms
I accomplish this with an #RSS reader. Most news sites and blogs support RSS feeds, and many of those feeds give you full-text articles. Some only show the title & summary of the article in the feed, so you have to click through to read the full article, but you can skip subscribing to those if you want.
I use Reeder Classic because it syncs my feeds through my iCloud account and runs on iOS, iPadOS, and Mac. But I am considering looking for a new one. I see posts all the time on here under the #RSS tag so there are plenty of folks who can offer more recommendations!
The person behind Reeder classic is even on the Fediverse, so it must be good ;) @rizzi
For your new one you can check out the many great recommendations the other people from our community here gave me in the comments! there are even self-hosted ones : mastodon.social/@madeindex/115…

Other devices, @Vivaldi browser has it built in (and is a generally good and privacy-protecting browser), and Thunderbird and I hear Outlook email readers do too.
Often, you can add just the news site's homepage to your reader and it will find the feed(s) automatically.
chiming in late - check out 'miniflux' for #selfhosting your own RSS crawler. As for a reader I'm pretty happy with 'Flux News', which is available on #fdroid - cheers!

And for services which don't provide RSS you can use rss generators, like rss.app

Self-hosted - FreshRSS, maybe Tiny Tiny RSS (I prefer FreshRSS)
