I use Facebook as a Google Reader replacement. I don't care what my contacts share. Twitter was my go-to site for this use case (news consumption). But that platform is too polluted now. Feedly was another site I used regularly.
Is there any good news reader alternative to the platforms mentioned?
- rhizome 9y agoThere are a variety of RSS readers for each platform, is there something specific you're looking for?
- submeta 9y agoDo people still use RSS readers? Honestly curious. I thought that was a thing from the past.
- konart 9y agoWell... no real alternative as many see it. How else can you get updates\aggregate articles from the blogs you want to follow? >I thought that was a thing from the past Just like I can't understand how Facebook or something similar can be such a problem for people. Always though that you just keep it to stay in touch (in other words have their contacts info) with some people you met over the time.
- rhizome 9y agoYes, they do, and in fact that's what Google Reader was.
- janwillemb 9y agoI add rss feeds to a new iftt recipe and send new posts to an emailaddress that ends up in my mailbox. In the mailclient I'm using a filter to automatically move these emails to a separate folder. This is as close to Google reader as I could get and it's working quite well.
- konart 9y agoRSS for blog. Telegram thematic channels for everything else.
- Nekorosu 9y agoI disabled retweets for every user I follow and it helped a lot. Now my twitter feed looks like a proper news feed.
