For anyone looking to adjust their media diet, now’s a great time to consider escaping The Algorithms with RSS. Here are some of the blogs, newsletters, and independent news sites I follow: https://www.mollywhite.net/blogroll/
For feed readers, I use Inoreader, but there are many other good options.
@molly0xfff : As you seem to follow everything through RSS (like I do), I wonder how you draw the line between a "blog" and a "newsletter"?
Also, as the medium always impacts the message, I’m curious to know if you see any difference in terms of content/tone between blogs and newsletters.

@ploum it’s a very fuzzy line, and i have some newsletters on my blogroll. mostly just comes down to vibes and cadence
@molly0xfff : thanks for the clarification. I will continue to talk about "blogs" and try to not bother too much then ;-)
(some are calling my own blogs a "newsletter" and it disturbs me more than it should)
personally, I go more by “delivery method”:
- if it’s web-based, it’s a blog
- if it’s email-based, it’s either a newsletter (single-source) or a mailing list (multi-source)
@cerement @molly0xfff : most blog allow you to subscribe by email. Most newsletters have an history and a RSS feed, which blurs the line.
