@pixouls I *love* RSS.
It's amazing how people are now so conditioned to accept walled gardens, and handing over personal data, that open alternatives are such a surprise.

@carcinopithecus @neil @pixouls Might I recommend NewsBlur as a reader? It's good for Facebook refugees, since aside from the RSS side, it's got a feed of items shared by other uses from their own feeds. Which makes a nice blend.

@TheFerridge @carcinopithecus @neil @pixouls My problem tends to be there are a lot of sites without RSS, and that's sad. |
@neil @pixouls i've been appreciating my rss feeds so much more since i left facebook... the only advantages the latter had were the centralized platform meaning i didn't have to check a separate thing and there was a unified interface to leave and read feedback
the lag and jank from all the trackers etc. meant that it started getting more convenient to switch tabs/scroll around to look for the comment box/enable js for that site again/etc., nullifying even those advantages
