Since at least the moment Facebook introduced (and apologized for) its News Feed, “the algorithm” has been shorthand for the ways the tech giants control what we see and when we see it. In the age of enshittification, there is a push to reclaim our feeds and networks. Good news: there’s a tool that’s been around for decades that can help wrangle many of your feeds into something manageable: Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known as RSS.

    The thing is, I would like some algorithm. Are there RSS readers that have a Bayesian trainer or some other way to figure out what I’m actually interested in?

      Yes, nunti. You give it your rss feeds, and you either like or dislike items. It recognizes what types of things you do and dont want to see, and prioritizes that.

      It’s all open source, so you could mess with it if you want. There is some built in ability to tune parameters.

      The downside is you can’t cluster your feeds. E.g., sometimes I want to read the news, and sometimes I want recipes, but with nunti, it’s all combined.
