RSS is still pretty great
I love RSS. I take a bit of an unconventional approach and use Discord as my RSS reader. I run a self hosted instance of MonitoRSS (https://github.com/synzen/MonitoRSS). I have a server with just me and my bot instance and I tend to group my feeds into categories and channels (effectively creating a tab system per subscription or group of subscriptions). I have Discord installed on my laptop, phone, and desktop so this means that I can easily look at all my subscribed feeds wherever it's convenient for me. When I'm not set to "do not disturb", I even get push notifications on my devices when content is posted to feeds that go to channels I haven't muted. I think the only real downside of the setup is some days I am very busy and don't check the server that often, so I'll come back to a large backlog of things to read and I'll end up missing or under-appreciating some gems.

Most used selfhosted services in 2022?
Monitor-RSS with rss-bridge Monitor-RSS allows me to filter RSS feeds obtained from rss-bridge with keywords and let's me embed them to discord. I mainly use xpath on rss-bridge to scrape sports news (fantasy football injuries) and add those feeds to Monitor-RSS that allows to filter them by player names or anything specific I am interested in. Sending those filtered feeds to Discord results in easy reading and manage them via discord tag or channel notifications. This way I get notified for stuff I am interested in and ignore anything not relevant 😎

Github webhook for new third party releases in Discord
And by using a bot like MonitoRSS you can get all updates within your discord server directly.

what is your preferred notification platform?
I set up my own RSS feeds for a couple of things and use MonitoRSS to get feeds into channels.

I Miss RSS
I have a private Discord server that acts as an RSS reader via MonitoRSS[1]. It works great because Discord has really good notification configuration. Some feeds I want to know about immediately, others I only want to see when I check the news, and because I can mute channels I can let my friends use it as well. They set up their own feeds and I don't have to be alerted to it but I can go look if I'm interested in what they're reading lately.
All that is to say that RSS still works. What's missing is the original content creators of the early RSS world. Nowadays, most people create small, easy-to-write, easy-to-consume content in one of the walled gardens since the notifications, interactions, and network are all included for them.
- Any way to subscribe to new music releases of favourite artists?

Nitter Is Dead
The creator of the project left this comment an hour ago:

Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe
Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

Nitter.net Has Disappeared
@lukefromdc @stopmotio someone filed a complaint to Njalla about unconsensual nudity being hosted on nitter.net, with a link that actually came from another instance.
I didn't think much of it when I got an email with the subject "Njalla: New Message", and the body just being a link, while traveling.
https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
Extremely not-encouraging. This is not what I would call professional behavior by Njalla.
nitter.net is unavailable because Njalla (domain vendor) suspended my account. I'm waiting for them to respond.
https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
That is extremely disturbing. Njalla is the owner-of-record (i.e. nominee) for all domains registered through them, rather than merely the registrar. If they run off with your domain you have significantly fewer options for dealing with it than with any other registrar.
I expected better than "shoot first ask questions later" from them. At least shoot while asking the questions; the owner should've had an explanation for the suspension waiting in their inbox.
njal.la restored nitter.net, and replied with their reasons: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
tbh I can totally understand why they acted this way.
