Google Reader was supposed to be much more than a tool for nerds. But it never got the chance.

      Yeah, Feedly is great. Been using it for years and very happy with it.

      It’s kind of a bummer that RSS never took off the way it deserved. It is kind of a precursor to what we have now with Fediverse/ActivityPub.

        Seriously, I’ve been preaching about RSS for decades. I subscribe to so many news feeds from sites all over the world. I always tell people how awesome it is to see 50 different spins on every news event that happens in the world. It gives me a real unique perspective on the world at large as opposed to getting my news from a few limited sources.

      My nostalgia always tells me that GReader was better, but I’m using Feedly since and I’m happy with it.

      I try to self-host a lot of stuff these days, and have become a big fan of FreshRSS. VERY Google Reader-like.
