Re: Using RSS to replace social media
#2The issue with these solutions is that they're only really one way, if I actually want to interact with anything posted to the RSS feed I have to navigate to the main website anyway, which renders the initial reading of them in a freer way pretty pointless.

I agree, but that is beautiful right? The choice is in user’s hand if they want to interact with content or not.
If they don’t want to read the content from that publisher in future they can simply do that, rather than getting three drip mails in 2 week intervals on why I haven’t read emails sent to me by them.

If you want to interact, the way you do that is to own your own blog where you post your “reply” and use a trackback[0] url. Then the conversation is even freer and you’re in control of your content. Don’t forget to create your own RSS feed for others.

#5It's fascinating to me that even in a post for something as simple and mundane as RSS feeds somehow Luke Smith still manages to sprinkle in some of his disgusting alt-right vocabulary. I have to respect the grift.

Can you please explain what you mean by 'disgusting alt-right vocabulary'? After your comment I read his post twice and didn't find anything remotely political.

#7I use social media because it's social.
A one way rss feed of content is the complete opposite.

> Nitter.net is a Twitter proxy that mirrors Twitter, but without Javascript soyware and spying.
With "soy" here being an old dogwhistle that refers to the "theory" that men are being feminized through the estrogen contained in meals that have soy as ingredient.

I think they refer to terms like consoooom and soyware which are not political, but can be connected to 4chan and therefore to the alt-right. It's a bit of a strech if this is the first time you heard of Luke Smith, but generally he's not shy to express his political opinions on the far right of the spectrum. Which is a shame, because otherwise there's a lot I can agree with him on.

I read the page and did not find anything worth labelling "disgusting alt-right vocabulary". Either put up or shut up with the "disgusting alt-right vocabulary" nonsense. This type of accusation without examples and explanations just why it is "disgusting" and "alt-right" only serves to poison the well from which ideas are drawn, it serves no good purpose.
So, show us some examples of that disgusting vocabulary so we can respond to it. If you can not just keep your fingers off the keyboard until you have something constructive to add to the discussion.
