Recently I discovered a couple blogs with interesting content and it reminded me of how the web used to be. So I ask what blogs do you follow and what topics do they cover?

Man, I should find a bunch of blogs etc, get an rss reader and read those instead of doom scrolling memes and garbage.
Awesome, just followed Mullvad and Selfh.st. Some you might be interested in (maybe you already read them!) :
I was already aware of noted, but I'll look into the others. Out of curiosity what RSS reader(s) do you use? I haven't yet decided on using one.
Diary of an Autodidact — A California lawyer with a love for the great outdoors reviews both books and national parks... but mostly wrote a very insightful and incisive series of longform essays on the interactions between Evangelical Christianity and US politics.

A couple more:
I have no recommendations at the moment but I'd like to know some tips on how to start a blog and promote them in this current day and age, especially if it's about a niche subject.

Not a blog, but a way of discovering new blogs. I subscribe to the unofficial best hacker news submissions RSS feed.
I found the blog on an IT guy that works in a research station in Antarctica.
One blog that inspired this post for me was https://www.ribbonfarm.com/. It is hard to pin down a single topic it covers, but I would say it tries to make sense of the ways people and ideas interact by breaking them down into different categories to understand how they think and view the world. Some topics include the social mechanics of the workplace and home, how people conceptually deal with the unknown, and conflict resolution.
Yea Rao is definitely someone I miss from Twitter, though last I checked they got off the platform to an extent too with this blog being their main home.
