There is a lot of great stuff on here, but I tend to stay away from social media because it makes me too frustrated and belligerent (see comment history). The reason I always come back is it's difficult to manage and curate a feed without some kind of community. Do you have recommendations for RSS feeds, websites that don't require accounts to subscribe, or any other suggestions?
rss feeds of a few local news sources, get most of my national and international news/politics on here though, but you could sub to a bunch of news sites and get most of that still.
Most public news sites either have an rss feed or one can be generated with something like rss-bridge
I also get emails and texts from some orgs, but honestly mostly those aren't valuable or are straight up unsolicited and get unsubbed
