Is there an alternate source for this? It's how I got my news up until it shut down.
Shameless plug -- but I built this web app, aggregates a bunch of different sources: https://journali.sm

#62I wish there was an OAuth for RSS, so I could subscribe to private/paid feeds through reader apps I only partially trusted.

AP and Reuters have excellent twitter feeds.
To extend that a bit, using something like RSS-Bridge[0] you can turn a Twitter feed into an RSS feed.

Email is being replaced by Slack. Maybe RSS / Atom weren't good enough, but what they're being replaced with isn't better either. It's not just about RSS. It's about moving off open standards to closed properties. It's also more effort to integrate different sources as each one has a different API. Indeed, nor the world nor freedom of information will die here, but that doesn't mean it's a step forward.
> Email is being replaced by Slack. Is it? I've never once used Slack. It's not on any of my devices. But email is and it works great.
Likely, there are people that have never used email either.

Hogwash Email works fine. I am in months long conversations with academics and thinkers around the world. Signal works fine. Same story as above. What’s dying is your historical connectivity to specific ideas. That’s hardly a sign fascism and censorship are settling in. And really you’re saying it was impossible for anyone to blindly get addicted to an RSS feed, just reading whatever is posted to it? Good grief. Your…

I'm very likely a minority but I only hear about Slack when I'm browsing HN.

#66Wouldn’t it be possible to create a third-party site scraper that could generate custom RSS feeds independently of the company? About the only barrier would be paywalls, IMO.
There are several options; fetchRSS, RSS-Bridge, etc.
I personally have RSS-Bridge running on my local webserver, and use it for Twitter feeds, Instagram, Facebook, etc.

#68I used to include their RSS feeds on radfi.com and now I have to find a replacement for them.

I think this is only a short-term effect. In response to things becoming more locked down, more and more "info liberation" projects will take root, and in the end the information will just gradually all leak out and end up outside the prison wall, in compatible, accessible formats. Then, eventually, even the sources of the information will switch to publishing it in the libresphere, because at that point the best aud…
I hope you're right, but this is an extremely optimistic view that does not have much historical precedent.
Looking at all of history, I'm very optimistic. Going way back to Cuneiform and the printing press, and the internet itself, they all point to a general principle of the breaking up of monolithic information sources over time. It might take a while, but it'll happen with the internet too.

Well, there are no people who have used Slack who have never used email, because you need email to sign up for Slack.
