I'll start:

  • RSS and blogs, news vs. social media
  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.
  • Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)

Fresh RSS is what I use, self hosted and the mobile web interface negates the need for an app. Though there is an app, I'm not a fan of it

After getting burned by Google killing Reader I decided to never use a 3rd party service again, and FreshRSS has served me well for years.
