!Instead of catching up, my feed reader behaves more like opening a book."

Here is Jeremy's feedback on RSS feed reader.

From Lucy Bellwood:

I have a richer picture of the group of people in my feed reader than I did of the people I regularly interacted with on social media platforms like Instagram.

You can single-handedly disenshittify your experience of virtually the entire web, just by switching to RSS, traveling back in time to the days when Facebook and Twitter were more interested in showing you the things you asked to see, rather than the ads and boosted content someone else would pay to cram into your eyeballs.

Because blogs are much quieter than social media, there’s also the ability to switch off that awareness that Someone Is Always Watching.

In the end, social media (Mastodon) best's algorithm is when the only algorithm at work in my feed reader— or on Mastodon—is good old-fashioned serendipity, when posts just happened to rhyme or resonate.
