You can still (basically) create your own HN / Twitter using RSS—my favorite reader is NetNewsWire, but there are others—particularly with the rise of Substack.

You can still (basically) create your own HN / Twitter using RSS—my favorite reader is NetNewsWire, but there are others—particularly with the rise of Substack. I have a couple hundred feeds in mine, and it's great.
On my own site, I routinely post lists of links to interesting articles. You don't have to rely on Twitter or other highly botted sources.
That most people do is itself revealing.
- Retr0id 3y agoThe more interesting/useful part of HN is the comment section, not necessarily the articles themselves.
- iancmceachern 3y agoI often read the comments more thoroughly than the article itself
- baq 3y agoI often do not read the articles until a comment points out it’s really worth it.
