The slow death of Twitter is measured in disasters like the Baltimore bridge collapse - Lemmy.World

>Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

I used to get all my news from Reddit and I got sucked into the habit of reading just the headline and then comments. After quitting I started looking for an healthy replacement to my news fix. I looked ant many different RSS apps but many of them had monthly fees or the interface just sucked. Eventually I found an amazing one (iOS only) called feeeed that has been incredible. It’s free, no in-app purchases, lovely interface, a simple reader mode, dark mode, and more. I really recommend it for anyone trying to quit Twitter/Reddit for news.

I just read this headline first and your comment second. Yikes. Guilty.
Any android alternatives?
I just installed feeder from F droid yesterday. Still setting up the feeds but it seems pretty nice
I use Feeder too, it’s entirely satisfactory.
Thanks Aaron Swartz! Reddit might not be working out but RSS has the staying power.
I thought you said news. This just looks like spam?
Yeah, my subscriptions aren’t the best example of the content you can subscribe to. My screenshot was to more show what the general layout of the app is. You can subscribe to any RSS feed you want though.
I just gave it a whirl out of curiosity. It’s kind of garbage in, garbage out. Subscribe to good RSS news feeds, and you get good stuff. Subscribe to Gizmodo blog spam, and you get blog spam.
I remember when Reddit was consistently two to three days ahead of the news cycle. Same for Fark
