Not too long ago, I complained about the amount of political bullshit in my RSS reader.

Way too much politics in my RSS reader lately. I thought I was avoiding all this nonsense as a byproduct of avoiding social media.

Inoreader is the answer. I switched to Inoreader recently, and have been making liberal use of the Filters and Rules. If you can imagine Tweetbot filters for RSS, then you're most of the way there.

Sure, you can set up fancy automatic starring, or automatic sending to Instapaper1 - but really, filtering out a huge percentage of the bullshit is worth the price of entry.

You can play around with the Filters if you want. They let you filter individual feeds, and that's nice. But the Rules hold the real power. Set up your account-wide filtering in Rules, and you never have to see a headline with words that raise your blood pressure.2


  1. And you should. It's great. 

  2. No, I won't share my Filters & Rules list. Use your imagination. You're probably wrong.
