My Fediverse app of choice is the venerable #Friendica , precisely because it natively supports #RSS feeds since before Mastodon even existed. An useful fact: Tumblr, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube and most WordPress blogs support RSS. It's entirely possible to use an RSS reader as a relatively private YouTube subscription manager, in particular with FreshRSS and the YouLag extension. -

@Azuaron @grumpygamer Unless you are writing your own reader, any reader you chose may let you down in the future.
@gbsills @grumpygamer There are degrees of probability with that, though. I'm currently using FreshRSS, which I don't generally recommend for people because it requires you to have an understanding of Docker. But, it is open source, so if the maintainers go out of their minds with, for instance, AI slop or something, I can always pause updates, and it's not like the RSS standard has frequent updates. If I need to, I can fork it and make whatever minor tweaks are required.
What I really want is a dedicated desktop app that's open source and I could recommend to people, but I haven't found a good one.
All that being said, this may end with me writing a Servo-powered RSS desktop app and hating that it's come to this.
And that being said, bold of you to assume I wouldn't let myself down.

@grumpygamer Which would you recommend from a blog writer perspective?
-
@gbsills @grumpygamer I don't want it built-in. If Vivalidi enshittifies, that means I have to drag my saved feeds somewhere else, again.
@Azuaron @gbsills @grumpygamer I've migrated my feed readers many times, from local software, to free online services, to payed services, and then to self-hosted freshRSS. It's easy enough (just one file to export). Glad that this technology is so interopable

@grumpygamer 100% Few weeks back went in and made sure my site was RSS happy!

@grumpygamer the message, which i agree with, is undercut by this website being totally and obviously AI generated.

@grumpygamer I was an active RSS enjoyer until all the things Ibwas subscribes to stopped supporting RSS

@grumpygamer I use ReadYou from @fdroidorg. Very nice and simple app. F-Droid also has a blog post every once in a while about updates on free softwares. Recommended!

@grumpygamer Sure, let's start rebelling by using RSS. But writing about it on Mastodon strikes me as more childish than anything else. The problem itself is very concrete: a handful of giant companies have enclosed public debate inside their own silos, which they control — and that leaves us incapable of making any collective decision as a society. Those companies are Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X and TikTok. So: any concrete ideas about what to actually do about it at the societal level?

Indeed, I'm on my third reader for that reason. Happily export and import hasn't been too onerous. -

@grumpygamer Cool. I could have used this list before coding my own RSS browser >> #RSSEnterprise https://mprove.de/blogs/rss/index.php?rss=hci.social/@mprove/tagged/rssenterprise.rss

(should't that be "RSSistance"...?)
