I've been reverting back to RSS and using Pocket as an interim solution (pocket-reader in emacs is really nice and converts well-formed articles into markdown, with the help of pandoc).

I want to host my own RSS server though and then maybe use a native reader to view it, like an RSS of RSS feeds. I don't want to pay an RSS feed company to host that for me and generate ad targeting from it.

The reason is that I want to be in control of the content I consume, and I'm not in control if an engagement algorithm is emotionally manipulating me.
