RSS never tracked you.

@wpeckham @Daojoan Interesting, thanks! I'm currently using Feeder for RSS, and I will also use RSS as long as it's an option!

I built this whole blogging engine based on a return to the simpler web. No javascript, RSS feeds with every blog.

Then HN turned evil and the whole site didn’t go anywhere, the email stopped working, everything just fell apart, I couldn’t bring myself to pick the pieces back up

@Daojoan We are all exploited and supplicants in the age of techno-feudalism.

[albert_magellan@bildung.social]

@Daojoan Today RSS is actually tracking you...

[chrismarquardt@chaos.social]

@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.

[shalien@mastodon.projetretro.io]

@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.

@martin_ueding @denzilferreira @patrick_h_lauke @Daojoan

People actually read stuff on the interwebz and write you a mail ??

Thats awesome!

@martin_ueding @denzilferreira @patrick_h_lauke @Daojoan

Well RSS is something I should implement for my SSG.Thanks for reminding me.

@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.
