RSS never tracked you.

@Daojoan True. And this is what happened: https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths

@Daojoan You forgot one point : that old web never disapparead, it was just hidden below the "web 2" adds, but it exists, it works, and it's still better.

@Daojoan Oh, thanks I needed to check an RSS !

[poslovitch@wikis.world]

@Daojoan I first came on Internet in my youth when, in France, the famous Skyblogs were declining and seen as "has been".

For years, I thought it was not worth having a blog: what could I say on there to keep readers engaged?

Well, when I finally set up my blog, I decided I wouldn't care about readers' engagement. Heck, I don't even have analytics (well I do, but I have to skim through Nginx's logs). I write what I feel like writing about, when I feel like writing.

Truly liberating.

@Daojoan Just wanted to boost this. Did already weeks ago.

@Daojoan feel it. I‘m on TikTok / Shorts / Reels Detox right now. Start to feel a lot better. That short vid stuff is exhausting long term.

@mu Maybe the feed I subscribed to years ago stopped working. I unsubscribed and forgot about it.

@Daojoan BBSs never drowned you in BS.

[joyo@thejoyo.com]

@Daojoan my website for my music has rss and zero tracking.

[vermaden@bsd.network]

@Daojoan

I still use/do all of them - its up to us to keep it that way ...

[elricofmelnibone@mastodon.social]

@Daojoan Thankfully it's all still there. I can't for sure that life is better without Instagram or TikTok, as I've never used either, but I can tell you I still enjoy the many blogs I read, the forums I frequent, and the emails I exchange with good people.

[beemdvp@techhub.social]

@Daojoan Completely agree, back then we were there for genuine user engagement and demand, not some algorithmic mission to the top

[jonesmurphy@mastodon.social]

@Daojoan the Internet didn't change itself. People have the power to regulate the Internet. Unfortunately too many of us are suicidal racists.
