This turned up in my RSS feed of hacker news. Yes, google basically killed RSS through embrace, extend, extinguish. There’s no money in democratizing self-publishing.
how do you have a RSS feed of HN? what links does it include out of the thousands that are posted here daily? also, can I ask you what service are you currently using for you RSS feed? thanks.
All that is to say that RSS still works. What's missing is the original content creators of the early RSS world. Nowadays, most people create small, easy-to-write, easy-to-consume content in one of the walled gardens since the notifications, interactions, and network are all included for them.

When Google reader shut down, I moved to feedly for like a week. Then I started getting anxiety that feedly would shut down too. Because if google could kill off a product i relied on, anyone could. And that got me into self hosting and running my own services. ttrss was basically my first self hosted thing almost a decade ago. It was great.

Having self-hosted for a long time, I find it's getting easier in a lot of ways what with Docker and all. I'm starting to wonder where "Sandstorm 2.0" is.

So they burned tons of effort on sandboxing, and wrapping existing applications into their sandbox, an…

I still use RSS. I use Feedly to curate various RSS feeds and many website still have them, or at least the tech focussed ones. I used to be subscribed to more but some RSS feeds have such high traffic it's difficult to follow them, such as the BBC news feed. Feedly has a nice new feature [0] that makes an RSS feed out of a standard website, so that might be worth considering if you have some news sources that don't…

The primary thing I wish was better is a way to handle social commentary. Unfortunately this is an extremely hard problem to solve without allowing spamming and brigading.
