RSS has a business problem, not a technical one

"I think the logical model is a reselling portal. It negotiates contracts with publishers and obtains full feeds."

I've updated my feedland page with 13 aggregator and firehose feeds from Bear Blog, Pinboard, Scour, Hacker News and others.

A good way to use these is to put them all in one folder in your reader and filter for keywords based on your interests.

Full list of feeds and link on my blog:

Link penalties on social media platforms

Although I’ve known for a while that social platforms make posts with links in them less visible, I didn’t know until recently just how much they did it. So, here’s a run down of how much different platforms penalise links and how you can work with it.

(Although the real answer is of course to use platforms that don’t penalise links, sometimes you have to go where people are)

Hello!

This sounds great. Does the current api at https://rsc.rmdes.be/settings/api-keys do anything?

Another test post. Including this to make it more interesting:

How Time and others are rebuilding parts of the web for AI agents

“Treat the agent as an operator of primitives you understand and could fall back to, not as a replacement for understanding them. Keep the formats open and the exit cheap”

Agree that there's still useful stuff on the big social platforms but there has to be a way of getting it and filtering it. Not a perfect solution but nitter, rss bridge, bye doom and fetch rss can be used to get feeds from social accounts, which you can also filter for keywords in your feed reader

Oh nice, I didn't relalise this would come out here :)

ATOM vs RSS - Genuine question for anyone that sees this:

Is one of them better or does it depend on what you’re using it for?

Hello!

Highlighting Dave Winer's comment on the issue of federating rss.chat servers,

Yes, use OPML, create a list of servers. That's what software that wants to work with federations will require as input.
