Am not interested in international news per say but I'd like to stay up to date to what's happening without any particular event taking most of coverage over the others like with Ukraine.
That's nice thing about rss too. With Feeder on Android it has blocking filters to apply the same keyword based filters. Useful if you have a broad rss source that pulls from various sources and find some sources useless. And there's categories you can set to separate things out so there's like tech news, game news, international news, economy, etc. And with compact view it looks like a traditional social media subscription feed, and I find myself actually reading the articles with the comments not being the draw with none to begin with.
I found rss has been the best way to stay up to date over user curated articles that itself has its own biases in what they choose to submit. Just seeing the list of news from even one source without some voting or submission based algorithm at play kind of showed how much people submit the most clickbait or attention grabbing articles to try to get karma. Especially some instances depending on how politically driven they are to push their agenda to everyone. So rss has seemed preferable for a very broad look to see what's going on with current events. Has been the best delivery system I've found on the internet so far with more a time of published based feed than a curated algorithm of social media.
I'll definitely try feeder. Thanks
