It stands for “Really Simple Syndication”, but you don’t need to know or care about that part.

The part that matters is that you get news from places you trust without the algorithm BS. RSS lets you subscribe to any website you want, and you see all of their new posts, in reverse chronological order, no algorithm. You can (if you have a good reader) filter out subjects you’re not interested in, and just see the stuff you care about.

I recommend trying out Feedly (feedly.com) with a few sites you already follow, and going from there.
