I’ve seen a lot of people praising RSS feeds over standard news. What benefits does RSS have over normal news sites? Are they more privacy-focused?

What feeds would you recommend for a fellow Lemmy user?

    I have a couple of hundred RSS feeds. It has worked well past 15+ years.

    The internet comes to me rather than the other way around.

    Some RSS feeds that are fun:

    https://questionablecontent.net/ - very long running comic.

    https://hackaday.com/

    https://www.kevinandkell.com/ - one of the most consistent oldest webcomic.

    Royal road also has RSS feed support.

    What I use: https://freshrss.org/ it’s kinda like Google reader back in the day.

      QC was such a fun ride… I encountered it pretty late in the story, then I got on par and I unfortunately dropped it, now it’s hard to go back

      I think it’s the Star Trek of web comics: incredibly progressive, ethical dilemmas everywhere, starting it now is hard for many because of the early graphics!

      The most amazing thing is how real its characters feel

        QC was such a fun ride…

        It clearly had it’s moments. There were some weirdly questionable strips. I’m not following it anymore since a few years but I’m happy to see it’s still running.
