With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already. (voidfiles.github.io)

It's always good to be in control of your own content sources.

This for sure. to me, it just seems like such a wave of news content...but a lot of what I enjoyed about Reddit/social media (including kbin) is the community aspect, allowing for more nuanced and popular stuff to be driven to the top of the feed (based on upvotes, retweets, user activity, clicks, or what have you). So the lack of that in RSS stuff really hinders me from fully adopting it.

    My number one visited reddit site was r/soccer. Discussion and highlights was half of the draw, but breaking news was the other half. Unfortunately, using RSS to get a collection of news/Twitter updates doesn't really provide value because I never really know the source. On reddit, there was always a bunch of comments or a highly upvoted comment that shared the reliability of the source. Quite often, there were reliable journalists working for shitty publications, so you could generally trust them despite not being able to trust other news on the site. I'll miss that.
