This is why I self host a freshrss session and I visit it a couple of times a day. I chew through about 1000 articles a day very quickly just actually consuming maybe a half dozen to twenty out of the lot.
I can see trends in the proliferation of particular stories or technology and I never feel like FOMO.
I dont use FB/insta/etc at all, I only ever visit X/twitter if I see a link posting to something in particular.paticular
It lets me control the firehose of news from the internet.
I set up a self-hosted FreshRSS instance as well, and I feel the same benefits from it. I got back into RSS after Reddit pushed its API changes through, and it’s been so refreshing. I’m using social media a lot less now and those tingly FOMO feelings all but disappeared.
