@rknightuk Favorite M.b follow?
@gregmoore Thanks for adding Discord… I should have added a bunch of other services rather than the blank as most people didn’t add any.
I could have added IG, Slack, Discord, Stocks, Crypto Wallet, etc.
@jeremycherfas Besides IRC I think we’re close to the same.
@JMaxB I like this.

@jameskoole More people check RSS multiple times a day than I would have guessed. Pretty cool.
@cdevroe Be sure to see the responses on Mastodon as well. Quite a few coming in there.
@jameskoole The main plumbing of the web is still RSS. I agree!

@alanralph Wow, Usenet!!
@maique RSS is good for coffee. Twitter for beer.
@nsmsn Do you check RSS on more than one device?
@BestofTimes I’m with you on email notifications… I only have 3 people set up to notify me if they send an email.
@KimberlyHirsh Why the RSS ebb and flow?
@kaa Any other apps you open daily?
@annahavron There are worse ways to burn some time than M.b.
@cdevroe having tried several of them, I agree!
@cdevroe ooh! Good question. Currently it is just NetNewsWire on iOS. I have the desktop app but I rarely open it on my laptop.

@KimberlyHirsh me too!
@kimonostereo Twitter Lists are the best!
@kaa I check YouTube far too often.
@fabio “I don’t have RSS”…. the horror!
@dejus I like this “during meals” approach.
@jimrea Discourse…. interesting.
@odd Twitter in RSS? Excellent.
@flutterpulse One day you too will be a Jedi and learn the ways of the RSS.
@Robijntje A very reasoned and applaudable approach.
@the Any good artists to recommend on IG?
@cdevroe I know…! Let’s allow me a bit of literary technological license… please? 🤣
@cdevroe I just get some updates via NetNewsWire.

Instastuff: left the app, now can’t see anything anyway
Linkedout, ditto
Talk Photography forum, less often than I used to (which WAS multiple times per day, now a few times per week)
Newspapers, check my Guardian and WaPo subs most days…
@lmika Interesting re: PocketCasts. I mainly listen when I’m driving or mowing the lawn or showering.
