[–] DrGiltspur@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Yeah, Feedly is great. Been using it for years and very happy with it. It's kind of a bummer that RSS never took off the way it deserved. It is kind of a precursor to what we have now with Fediverse/ActivityPub. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cassetti@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago Seriously, I've been preaching about RSS for decades. I subscribe to so many news feeds from sites all over the world. I always tell people how awesome it is to see 50 different spins on every news event that happens in the world. It gives me a real unique perspective on the world at large as opposed to getting my news from a few limited sources. permalink fedilink source parent
