I'm a fan of RSS and interoperability in general. That's why I added full-text RSS on Postcard [1] sites. Metrics-driven OKRs processes are at odds with privacy-first protocols. The sad reality at most companies is "if we can't measure it, we ain't gonna do it" - even if everybody is asking for it. This is why OKRs suck. So, I blame OKRs for getting rid of RSS and open protocols in general. [1] https://updates.postca…
I just don’t understand the obsession with privacy at all cost. What has anyone actually had happen to them as a result of their Reddit or YouTube browsing history? This just seems like reverse voyeurism, and while that’s fine, it’s odd to assume anyone else shares that fetish with you.
The current situation at Twitter has made me want to go back to the good-old-days of RSS, I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I'm rusty, though. What's the best Mac desktop RSS client these days?
Strongly prefer NetNewsWire, which is free and open source. www.netnewswire.com. Available on Mac and iOS.
If we have a RSS revival, please be Atom 1.0 :) !
Most of my experience with RSS is just for podcasts.

I'm kind of a JSON maximalist because I find it really simple and haven't put too much thought into it. I'd also like to shout out https://www.jsonfeed.org/ https://jsonresume.org/ https://tomcritchlow.com/2020/04/15/library-json/ https://geojson.org/ It'd be pretty cool to have an ecosystem where you could ``` $ packagemanger init my-site password $ hostOfChoice deploy ``` Go to the url, auth yourself, then have a l…
I don't get why anybody would want a json feed. RSS/Atom are already simple to the point of being trivial, so why introduce more standards?
Same. I even wrote a program that allows me to follow people on Twitch without being logged in there. I made a bash alias so I just need to type "f" in the terminal when I want to see who is live. Otherwise I use newsboat for things that have RSS feeds and w3m bookmarks for everything else. W3m has a really nice bookmarks page that is just a list of links that you can access with alt+b; very convenient when you want to quickly go to a page.
I recently started using RSS again (self-hosted with miniflux). One difficulty I have is that these kinds of RSS feeds in OP are way too high-volume for me. But it can be hard to find good blogs or RSS feeds without relying on Twitter to find them. Back in the day, more people used to include a list of blogs they follow on their own blogs, I thought this was a great practice. A few still do, like this very interestin…
I thought the same, and so I built a sort of webring/blogroll functionality in my website project, together with an accompanying OPML file so these lists are easily shareable. I did the same with a microblog/timeline, that had an RSS counterpart. The web is already 'social media', if you ask me.
I love RSS/atom feeds. One thing I'm wondering though, RSS is is XML based. Most things are/have moved to JSON (RPC really more than REST). My question is why is XML still good for this use case? Genuinely interested.
Is an attempt to move these to json.
