Open source social media dashboard? That way you could still use all the traditional social media apps without being reliant on any single one.

Several years ago facebook gutted a lot of RSS features. You used to be able to follow your notifications via RSS, but that went away when facebook realized people wouldn't stay on the site as long.

Is there no possible workaround? Zapier supports custom RSS feeds from popular social media sites, so it's definitely not impossible.

There's https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge, but it's a PHP app, run it on a disposable VPS.
