How I use RSS 🔗

RSS readers are pretty neat. They allow you to conveniently read all of your content in one place, no need to go to a dozen different websites just to read the latest blog posts or news articles. I love efficiency, and to me this is the perfect way to be efficient with how I ingest online content. It also doubles as a filter for all of the noise the internet has to offer. A few years ago I decided stop actively using Reddit. This was in no small part due to the predatory way Reddit forced Apollo to shut down, and so my favorite way to access the site was no longer possible to use. This was a blessing in disguise, as it led me to seek ways to keep up to date with some of the subreddits I enjoyed browsing without actually using the site at all. I learned that you can turn subreddits into RSS feeds, and so a handful of ones I wanted to keep up to date with now live as feeds in my RSS reader, filtered by “Top of Month” so I get to skip all of the noise and only read the posts that seem interesting.
