It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

    Bro same. It’s almost like FOMO. There’s just so much content out there that I feel overwhelmed just trying to parse through what I’d actually want in an RSS feed and terrified i’m missing actual important stuff.

      Glad to know I’m not alone…because of this thread, i downloaded a couple RSS readers (Feedly and Inoreader)…but, yep, that overwhelming/daunting feeling is back!

        I’m not currently using RSS, it’s been years. And yes I also felt overwhelmed. I have same problem with Podcasts on my iPhone and honestly email. Just like in most cases I don’t want to be pushed content. My brain feels bad for not keeping up. The best use of RSS that I can imagine for me would be following a small number of original content creators who post erratically in multiple platforms. It’s another reason I love the fediverse so much bc we can slap /feed on the end of many addresses to pull that content elsewhere. And again I’m not currently using RSS lol. I’m just saying that I might use it for passionate follows. I think it’s a useful tool for getting people free of the big bad platforms.
