It's going to sound dumb, but honestly? I filled an rss reader up with some of the best sources I could think of, and am actually really enjoying just quietly taking the world in again, instead of trying to come up with my latest snarky Reddit-friendly quip.
- basch 3y agoDo you have your best source list?
- growingentropy 3y agoNews: Chicago Tribune (a certain browser with a certain addition bypasses the subscription shakedown), New York Times, Washington Post, the Associated Press, Reuters, the BBC. Tech: Hacker News, Tech Crunch, The Verge. Music: Pitchfork. MMA: MMA Fighting, Bloody Elbow. Plants: Epic Gardening and Indoor Gardening, with plans to add some carnivorous plant forums.

- spazx 3y agoI've actually been wanting to do this, but I don't personally know a lot of good sources that still use RSS. Would love to see your feed list.
- growingentropy 3y agoNews: Chicago Tribune (a certain browser with a certain addition bypasses the subscription shakedown), New York Times, Washington Post, the Associated Press, Reuters, the BBC. Tech: Hacker News, Tech Crunch, The Verge. Music: Pitchfork. MMA: MMA Fighting, Bloody Elbow. Plants: Epic Gardening and Indoor Gardening, with plans to add some carnivorous plant forums. Still looking for more stuff. It honestly feels strangely better absorbing without commenting.
- skydhash 3y agoYou can use emails to rss services as sources. I do that for everyone that asks for my email to keep me “updated”.
- HlessClaudesman 3y agoYeah I did that too when Twitter died, shout-out to the fantastic NetNewsWire on mac. But here's the thing, reading within your own walled garden doesn't expose you to radically new ideas as much. The rss only approach lacks the discovery aspect of social media. Now that Reddit is dying too I'm pretty much down to Mastodon and HN for finding interesting novel stuff.

- uoaei 3y agoIt's difficult to curate that list for me, I want high-quality blogs as well as news. But having ~100 feeds, ~20 of which being "news" each with ~20 posts per day, meant at least 2 hours per day catching up. I quit cold turkey last autumn but want to reinstate it, except with only the folks that post once per day or less.
- growingentropy 3y agoWhat I find helps is going through each category as the mood hits me. If I looked at my one main feed, I would almost be overwhelmed.
- rkangel 3y agoI do miss the discussion in some cases. I'm an NFL fan in the UK so I don't have a lot of other NFL fans around me. /r/nfl and /r/greenbaypackers were both great for providing me with a community of people I could discuss stuff with, in addition to the news aggregation thing. When the blackout started and I considered what I really got from Reddit, /r/nfl was the only thing really.
