In the spirit of moving off of centralized content aggregators with algorithms designed to (at best) inundate me with ads, I’ve set up my own RSS feed reader. I might be a few decades late to the party, but it its a breath of fresh air to curate my own feed.
I’ve already found a few feeds that I’m excited about (loving low tech magazine), but would like to fill it out more. Any suggestions?
I had the exact same question some months ago: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30340942 before I decided to swear off news completely haha.
Oh nice! I’m trying to do the same. Looking for more long form, thought-provoking stuff instead of the fire hose of soundbites and rage bait
I got a tip about “Delayed Gratification”, slow journalism magazine: https://www.slow-journalism.com/ Might be something for you too! They write in-depth articles and release a new magazine every 3 months, reflecting on those past 3 months.
hey, neat! thanks!

High quality, but manageable quantity. As a bonus you will be supporting professional journalism. The traditional business model of journalism has been turned upside down by the internet. The parallel with the last two decades of polarization and rising extremism may not be completely coincidental.
