Really trying to be constructive here: consider investing in one or two more vowels. The "vn" is...rough.

  Looks to be a play on the word “Angle” - in the context of news, this is the point you’re trying to convince your readers of. “What’s your angle?”

    I pronounced it in my head as "vungle"...

"Fix the internet" then links your instagram. Seems like you are part of the problem? Edit: Or maybe I have a very different view of what fixing the internet means. The peertube content sponsoring currently on the frontpage seems much more constructive to me.

  I totally agree with this. If the internet needs a fix, it is about getting off the big players. Getting off this constant feed of nonsense. Being more personal, more one-to-one instead of "hey look at my feed, it has 2 million mindless people looking at it right now".

Interesting idea - how are stories verified / fact checked?
