Blogger discovers this cool thing called “RSS”.

    Find one or two sites you regularly like from your usual sources. Then when THOSE sources link to another source, FOLLOW that link. If that site has good content, add it to your list.

    It doesn’t take long to build a solid RSS feed, just need to spend a little time curating it. The key is to pay attention to who is providing the info.

    Don’t like the direction a site is going, remove it from your feed.

    If you see that one source is commonly the original source for information, or reporting make sure you do what you can to support it. Do they have a patreon? Can you share it out to your other sources?

    Also, make sure you’re not falling into a bubble, follow national and international news sources.

      I’d love to take a look at what other people are following and what they like about it. My own followed are kind of random.

      Maybe this is one of those Qs a simple web search can answer…

        Really hoping I don’t dox myself with this…

        I (tried to) remove all the local news sites, but this gives me a pretty decent overview of things I’m interested in, without being overwhelming. You should be able to find some local news sources, and add their LOCAL only feed, so you don’t get hammered with national and international news.

          Omg thank you for sharing. I think you’re good re doxxing, the only one that looked iffy was that Ars Technica URL, and I did a thorough check and couldn’t find any PII or credentials leaking.

          My own feed is pretty pathetic (had to reinstall OS and ofc didn’t back up the past 5 years):

          
                
                
                
                
          

          I also don’ think I’m following Wikipedia correctly. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to figure it out :/
