What is explicitly convenient about social media?

[–] bent 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's really convenient for finding events in my city. I wish the places I frequent would use RSS, that would be even more convenient for me, but alas.

May I ask how you use RSS? In an app? (If so, what one). Something else?

[–] bent 2 points 1 month ago

I use the "News" app from Nextcloud (horrible name). I doubt it's the best, but it's convenient for syncing
