I still use RSS for 100% of my content: A couple news sources, a bunch of YouTube channels, a couple webcomics. It's easy for me, though, because I don't use social media, which I imagine wouldn't really be well served by RSS.
- latexr 1y ago> I don't use social media, which I imagine wouldn't really be well served by RSS. I don’t use Bluesky, but there are a few people on there I wish to see updates from (including one webcomic artist without a website) and I use Bluesky’s integrated RSS to do so. Same for Mastodon.
- happytoexplain 1y agoYeah, true - I guess it's the same as for YouTube. If you want "the feed", RSS would be overwhelming. If you want "every post by a few people", RSS is perfect.
- scellus 1y agoI still use RSS, not for all content but for blogs that are now mostly Substack newsletters. Works fine, relatively noise-free.
- timbit42 1y agoSome social media has RSS. Reddit, BlueSky, Mastodon, and YouTube all have it. X used to but it was dropped at some point. TikTok, Facebook, Threads, and Instagram don't.
- jsbisviewtiful 1y agoI dropped reddit for my RSS, which I've had some version of since before the demise of Google Reader. RSS is such a great way to keep up on trusted sources, unlike reddit and other various social platforms. It's also a nice way to keep up on some forums, like Macrumors and HackerNews.
