  • I’m currently using RSSGuard. I also have used and liked using NewsFlash and Akregator. I recommend trying all three if you can. Fiddle with the settings to get the desired look and experience, they are flexible apps.

    Only RSS option that is on web and android/iphone is either through nextcloud news. Or try host your own tiny RSS or fresh RSS instance or find a public one you can use? Most RSS reader will let you login with them.

    I prefer to read news and blogs on my computer so I have not tested mobile apps in any way.





  • Use Mastodon or any decentralised platform responsibly is the way, in my opinion. If you can run your own instance, that will likely lead to better control over your data but does’t mean others servers won’t see it. that is the nature of these platforms by design.

    Don’t put trust in anyone for it. When you make an account, go through the settings and adjust them based on what you are comfortable with. Use an alias name and email, of course. opt out of search engine appearances, or even social graph. Hide people you follow and that follow you. Adjust the settings of each post based on what it is as well.

    End of the day, you will need to trust the person running the instance to do good enough management of the infrastructure. Use a server with active and transparent admin and it’s not too large to manage for them.




  • I think most of the world has bought into the marketing lies of big tech, where they claim to be secure and private. Caring for their users. I was one of those people, until one day I asked a simple question, “what are these companies doing to actually protect me?” Nothing. rather I have made myself more vulnerable by being on a platform that uses my information at scale. They are doing everything to protect themselves from law suits and to keep racking in money over decades old dream of marketing based on large amount of personal data gathering. Ad money is drying up this year, high interest rate and all that. I wonder what impact that will have on these platforms.
