Email newsletters vs RSS Readers: social.ricmac.org
mail is push rss is pull
Mail is ubiquitous - rss is barely understood in the world of jo’ public
I check feedly every day - I check twitter when I remember
I subscribe to a lot of newsletters that are all directed into a folder through mail rules - I check that folder when I have time - or want a change to feedly
Corporations go through unnatural acts to get me to ‘read’ but really open and click on stuff - they don’t care if I read it - so long as I ‘act’
They all do everything we don’t tend to do in micro blog
@ablaze Having everything in once place really changes everything! In my reader I have content from Micro.blog, various website feeds, twitter, Instagram and mastodon. It blows my mind sometimes
@EddieHinkle I do both. I'm subscribed to a lot of discussion groups, but I also enjoy reading blogs through RSS.
