Anyone complaining about the Google shutting down Reader had more than enough time to find and adapt to an alternative. And, yes, there are (and were) a number of options.

Blaming the death of Google Reader for the rise of Facebook and Twitter as primary (and often unreliable) news sources is a poor excuse for not taking the time to find another option (2/2)

@steckerhalter Meta, isn't it?

I'm just tired of hearing about this. People should have moved on long ago.

@scottnesbitt
I never used reader, but I've heard that is supposed to be a pretty decent alternative. I'm curious about the perspective of someone who has used both.

@fusioncow @scottnesbitt actually I prefer news. you can use it for example at disroot.org (or host your own nextcloud). it has decent mobile clients and you're not depending on yet another proprietary service. IMO was more annoying to use even.
