My Internet Reading Daily Diet

Pranay Kotasthane asked in OpenTakshashila’s WaterCooler the following question:

What does your internet reading daily diet look like? Do you use specific websites, workflows, or tools? Please share…

This blog post is a more extensive answer to that question. In my Weekly Notes 27/2023 blog post, I shared how I had changed my information consumption. In my On following people’s work, I lamented about the difficulty of following people in a fractured social media landscape. But, this is my current internet reading daily diet.

I follow quite a few newsletters that I have subscribed to using Yahoo! Mail. I follow many blogs using RSS feeds on Feedly. I now use Mozilla Thunderbird while reading these on my laptop. I use the respective apps when reading them on mobile.

I have subscribed to the Times of India and the Indian Express for news. I read The News Minute for news related to Kerala. I read Scroll for their books and niche national news coverage. This has changed since Week 27/2023.

For my varied interests, I follow people on Twitter/X and Mastodon. I try to spend time on these once in the morning and once in the evening.

I listen to a few podcasts on Spotify and watch videos on YouTube. I do these on mobile only.

For anything that interests me, I take notes by hand in my bullet journal. For anything that I want to add as a reference for the future, I add it to Roam Research.
