@760ceb3b9c0ba4872cadf3ce35a7a4 @grumpygamer I'm NGL, seeing "the resistance" followed by suggesting AI software did 3 psychic damage.

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

@grumpygamer I'd be stoked if I could get RSS through tor.

@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?

@Azuaron @grumpygamer Unless you are writing your own reader, any reader you chose may let you down in the future.
@gbsills @Azuaron @grumpygamer
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"...?)

@grumpygamer the message, which i agree with, is undercut by this website being totally and obviously AI generated.
@760ceb3b9c0ba4872cadf3ce35a7a4 @grumpygamer visibly vibecoded website. had to wash our eyes out after closing the tab. ugh

@grumpygamer regarding rss feeds of mastodon acconts: I think they suck. They don't contain the entire text content of the post but only the first few words?

@grumpygamer https://feedcontrol.fivefilters.org/ is also very handy for making /managing RSS for sites where one is not available

Been using RSS again (was an RSS fangirl back in the day haha) for about a year now to curate a news feed from sources I trust, and honestly I don't know why I forgot it existed for so long.
That's a great resource thanks for sharing

@grumpygamer @airakose obvious slop website
@whitequark bleh, thats on me. I only did a cursory glance. It defs looks sketch, and the top recs are for slop feeds too so either way, yeah...
Thanks, unshared

@grumpygamer Thank you for the advocacy and the very helpful resource link.

@gbsills @Azuaron @grumpygamer Any decent RSS reader will let you export your subscriptions. Right? Switching costs are low.
I use the RSS feature of Google Alerts to find news on specific topics across the web. I often wonder when/if they'll discontinue that service, or enshittify it with ads. For now, it's great - Google without Google
