Yeah I did that too when Twitter died, shout-out to the fantastic NetNewsWire on mac.

But here's the thing, reading within your own walled garden doesn't expose you to radically new ideas as much. The rss only approach lacks the discovery aspect of social media. Now that Reddit is dying too I'm pretty much down to Mastodon and HN for finding interesting novel stuff.

Really? Because I found Reddit to be somewhat monotonous or homogenous in MOST instances. I mean, you go to a tech forum, and logic was still very firmly in place there.

But in the political and social areas of the site...you definitely had a better time if you were of a certain worldview.

Not that I'm even remotely conservative. But I do have a lot of socially libertarian views where people should just be left alone to think and act how they want. Doesn't go over too well with the "saving the world" young white college students of Reddit. Lol
