Im trying a ”new” thing, in fact something I abandoned years ago. Namely rss.
I made some scrapers for the sites i follow that lacks full rss feeds, and can now enjoy distraction free focused reading again, without inflammatory comment sections.
However, I’m here commenting so I guess im still under the spell. :-/
- n00b_heal 2y agoTried this for twitter as there are some people I still like for their concise content, but I don't want to be drawn into curated corporate doomscroll. Doesn't work as good as I thought, but I still consider RSS to be a valuable tool to put a safe gate to personal internet use
- bdhcuidbebe 2y agoYea, I dont follow ppl on twitter anymore, but you can use nitter to turn any user into a rss feed. https://nitter.privacydev.net/elonmusk/rss https://nitter.privacydev.net/elonmusk/rss For subreddit you can use redlib which has rss feeds, example https://redlib.zaggy.nl/r/insects.rss https://redlib.zaggy.nl/r/insects.rss Using this as a source, you can combine a bunch of subreddits you like to follow into a single feed for minimal usage effort. Since you are processing the feeds by now, it is trivial to filter out crap you dont want, such as Musk news.
