"What do you lose by using Facebook", asked a friend who is keen to keep his account there for some reason.
What made me leave was the manipulation. I mean: they started hiding your friends posts in order to show you adverts instead! Feeding you slop from their promoted posts and "viral" messages (that aren't actually boosted by anyone, just picked out by their megaphone to show to everyone).
If you let the algorithm determine what you see than you let it determine what you are, who you become.
Even if you think it's better at finding shiny things than you, even if you think it builds the parasocial relationships that you want, even if you think it's saving you time to let the robot manage your reading-list: if you are letting Facebook, or any algorithm written by advertisers, do your reading selection then you are letting Facebook decide who you are.
On behalf of the advertisers who bribe them the most.
This is why you gotta use RSS. You gotta use the chronological timelines not the "for you" feeds. You gotta build follow relationships that you choose and understand because otherwise, you are letting the corporation and it's systems determine these things. You are abdicating some control of your very self to the machine.
Not to mention that we have to stop feeding money to the evil multi-trillion dollar companies built to control and manipulate us through our relationships with our friends. They have enough money, they need less participation not more.

The best part about @… is that every search has it's own RSS feed.
Give them a try. https://feedle.world
@… another bug report/suggestion, two actually.
#1: comma separated tags/categories in RSS feeds aren't interpreted as separate tags, but as one big long tag
#2: possibly add hashtag search to bridgy web. you can retrieve a list of posts matching a searched hashtag from most instances (iirc), it might be nice to set this up for …

Outstanding episode of @alexpodyssey.bsky.social on the commute home today.@… had me laughing out loud in the first half but as ever the story behind Medusa is much darker, and much more interesting than you thought.

I've blogged about how I'm using #FreshRSS to get full-text #RSS feeds – and about crowdsourcing configs that will allow folks to subscribe to more things thanks to the web scraping feature!

If you are interested in this sort of reporting and you aren’t following Inside Climate News…well, you should be.

“RSS feeds remain one of the last open and decentralized distribution mechanisms on the modern web. Platforms like Spotify and YouTube are increasingly moving toward exclusivity and closed podcasting ecosystems. Supporting browser-side XSLT helps keep RSS accessible and human-friendly, especially for independent creators.”

RSS Podcast Feed Inefficiency - Climate cost of handling feeds ineptly... #RSS #podcast #FrugalComputing #LowCarbonComputing
Spent the evening improving my #RSS setup by getting more into the possibilities of https://www.freshrss.org/:
Thanks to its support for web scraping, I've now managed to get the full text of articles, instead of just the snippets, of @… en español into my reader.
And even managed to get BBC Mundo scraped into it through the scraping, despite @… unfortunately not providing any official feeds for the Spanish-language news at all.
