@evan usually not, but I guess if you know specific people whom you trust you could get updates from them. Or if you're following news sites or something. For everyone else, RSS rocks 😉️:rss:
That said, I sometimes find social media useful for hearing about news that I missed from mainstream sources, so that i can look it up further. So it is helpful for that! (For me, the recent Amsterdam thing was a good example of the Fedi filling in where mainstream media missed)
