Now, more than ever, there is such incredible value in escaping algorithmic bile. Get an RSS reader. Find real people, writing real words, think for yourself, and enjoy the imperfect, non-engagement bait way the internet used to be.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social Switched to a self-hosted RSS reader when Google Reader died (RIP), and that's consistently been a good decision. As time has gone on, RSS feeds have waned and waxed in popularity, but there's still a good number of 'em out there. Comics, tech, news, fun science things… And the ability to filter RSS articles with matching or RegEx to remove what I'm not interested in is great.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social I've been doing well with Feeder on Android, but I'm welcome to trying anything else.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social Could not agree more. Learn and educate yourself rather than sitting through a highlight reel of someone else’s life whilst yours ticks by!
