Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.
Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.
I’m curious about others though, thanks!
RSS is the first app I would install on new devices if they didn’t automatically migrate all my apps and data for me. That there are people who know about RSS and don’t use it surprises me, somewhat.
Im 42 been using the internet since i had a 386sx. Been using firefox since it was still netscape navigator. Had a hotmail account from befode microsoft bought it.
I still dont understand how to use rss or what it actually is
Do you pay for yours, or what? I tried to get into RSS, but I wasn’t in the mood to pay for it.
I’ve been a paying customer of Reeder app and NetNewsWire before that. I believe NNW might be free now. These are on Apple platforms.
It is free and open source, it’s my main RSS app on Mac / iOS, and I downloaded Feeder from F-Droid for Android
I like Feeder as a free Android option
I was never able to get back into RSS once Google killed reader. I never found an interface I liked, and it seemed like sites weren’t supporting it as much, so I just kinda forgot about it.
