[Question] Is RSS over tor private or overkill. (?) (lemmy.ml)

I found a way to use RSS over tor. since I don't really know how rss works, this might be a good question since I had a problem opening links in rss when using a tor proxy. but I'm probably willing to give up that function if it gives me more privacy.

here's the link; https://medium.com/@crodges/anonymous-rss-with-newsboat-and-tor-1f310e54af73

It was convenient enough because I already use newsboat. also no one is really talking about using rss with tor. Most of the other methods are weird combinations, and all of them doesn't work now. like using tor browser RSS plugin, I haven't found an open source one (weirdly most rss reader are proprietary). and using thunderbird with torbirdy plugin.

the other working method is self hosting using Tiny Tiny RSS + anonymous VPS (ssh through tor, buy with monero.)
