I still get a lot of news and unfiltered reading by means of RSS (the feeds) and Telegram messenger.
To get RSS feeds on desktop, the Thunderbird e-mail app and Vivaldi browser have a feed reader you can set up, or there are stand-alone apps. On mobile, there are apps, but I find many barely work.
Telegram is available for everything.
They keep me in the reading. Good ways to get things direct.
Direct e-mail subscriptions also good, but I get buried in that.
Amazing how people keep saying “RSS is dead” even as everyone still uses RSS readers, isn’t it. Almost as if they were expressing a wish.
I started with RSS during the early MyOpera days to track favorites and liked how free of interference it was. I can export/import the feeds from one device to another. Rather convenient. Some people are paying attention to RSS now that it’s more common than ever for people and orgs to get deplatformed. I follow more feeds that I can ever read. I like that. I even have a couple from some guy named Felix.
Wonder who that may be. 😉
He’s a bit odd and we are very fond.
