The slow death of Twitter is measured in disasters like the Baltimore bridge collapse (www.vox.com)

Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

I used to get all my news from Reddit and I, unfortunately, fell into the habit of reading just the headline and then comments. After quitting I started looking for an healthy replacement to my news fix. I looked at many different RSS apps but many of them had monthly fees or the interface just sucked. Eventually I found an amazing one (iOS only) called feeeed that has been incredible. It’s free, no in-app purchases or ads, lovely interface, a simple reader mode, dark mode, and more. I really recommend it for anyone trying to quit Twitter/Reddit for news.

I just installed feeder from F droid yesterday. Still setting up the feeds but it seems pretty nice

I use Feeder too, it's entirely satisfactory.
