Yes, remember link enciclopedias? Good times. First, I used the Google link collector, and that was the most convenient one. Then Google discontinued it, and I moved to Feedly. It was not remotely as useful as the Google Reader but still functional.
Since then, however, technology moved on. I’m not even sure if Feedly exists anymore, for I haven’t accessed it in years. Its functions have been completely overtaken by X. And yes, Elon Musk’s positions on several very important issues are moronic and aggravating. And his personality is even more so. But he provides a crucial service with X. The pre-Elon Twitter didn’t provide it, at least not for people interested in what’s happening in Ukraine. Russian propaganda bots figured out the pre-Elon Twitter moderation policy and would destroy every pro-Ukrainian account in sight with complaints that we made them feel “unsafe.” It was a nightmare to keep getting shut down. On FB, it’s still the reign of Russian propagandists, which is why I’m never there.
In any case, the only website I read regularly outside of X is David Cole’s column on Takimag. For those who don’t know, Cole is a hilarious anti-MAGA, anti-Elon conservative. I’d read a grocery list by him, to be honest, because he’s really out there funny. From him, I know that Karen Bass was actually the more conservative among the candidates for LA mayor. The rest were even more bizarre.
So that’s it for link enciclopedias, unfortunately.
I still use Feedly, though not to collect links. My categories: “Morning Reading” (your blog is on that list), “Business and Law,” “Literature,” “Vancouver,” and “Photography.”

I like TheOldReader.com
But it’s not good for finding new stuff, just for low-bandwidth keeping tabs on stuff I already read and like.
