THE war on RSS isn't a new problem. We wrote about it before and we recommended an RSS reader/client called QuiteRSS. RSS is still the best way to follow us except maybe Gemini, where we have feeds and IPFS indices as well.

"To understand why RSS is so good one might want to consider who dislikes RSS (and why)."The video above is the start of a series of clips where I'll share tips and tricks. It's possible to get almost everything to one's RSS reader, even the weather.

To understand why RSS is so good one might want to consider who dislikes RSS (and why).

Weeks ago Google News broke its own RSS feeds and didn't bother fixing that. How baffling, harming oneself. Well, actually it's not good for selling ads and manipulating people, so they try to herd people into their "web apps". RSS may be good for you, but not for Google.

Sadly, a lot of people have outsourced their communications to other sites (Richard Stallman maintains his own notes in his own site with an RSS feed, not social control media) and as we've recently discussed, with details in IRC logs (internal conversations), it seems like some sites handcraft RSS feeds because many frameworks nowadays omit or neglect RSS support. As if it's a thing of the past... don't let them make this self-fulfilling prophecy a reality. ⬆
