How to build my own information feed / front page?

How have you solved the problem of getting a personalized feed of the information you would like to consume?

I would like to have show up on this feed articles from:

- news websites i frequent - medium stories from people i follow - tweets from people i like

basically a daily newspaper built just for me.

I'm not a developer, so looking for 3rd party solutions that are basically plug and play. Perhaps an extension or something?

I don't know if that would work. Cancel culture isn't really something that just manifests on websites like this.

For example - what about the major universities, like Harvard and Berkeley that are basically exporting this stuff. Are you going to cancel them?

I agree though that individuals need a way to take action to show that we are opposed to this woke nonsense.

How we can do that...I am not sure

As someone who's been on Reddit for a decade, the amount of astroturfing is astounding. Particularly active brands are mC'ds, coke - but there are so many others.

I'm also now convinced that there is a lot of psyop intel type operations that aim to spread their goals via reddit. Either pro / anti a foreign policy position.

I think these types of posts could probably easily be flagged and isolated but it doesn't seem to be a priority for reddit. I guess making money and invading users privacy is way more important for now.
