I installed NetNewsWire 5.0[0] when it was launched and subscribed to a bunch of RSS feeds. In my opinion, a native desktop application that downloads content for offline consumption, without CSS, javascript, advertisements, trackers and GDPR pop-ups has led to an incredible experience! If you publish to your own blog, social media will not be able to censor you. You won’t be required to conform to “community guidelines” that you disagree with, just to reach a target audience. You will own all the IP and content that you create. I want RSS feed readers and personal blogs to be the future. In my own blog, I’ve started sharing links to other blogs I like - and I hope that one day, people who like my blog will link to me. I hope to eventually acquire readers who come to my blog via a network of high quality recommendations from other bloggers, and they will discover more blogs from those I recommend - all of this without the tyranny of a single social media company controlling “how information flows through their network” Give NetNewsWire or your favorite RSS feed reader a try. There are several old AskHN posts that have a large number of fantastic RSS feeds you can subscribe to. Try it for a month and see if you agree with me.
