I fucking hate news letters and just because ben from questing beast and the people from mothership (who seem like pretty nice people) say you should have one doesn't mean you should have one, or that it should be ok for you to handle strangers' emails
Why can't we rely on freaking #RSS. This is what RSS is for!!

That accident of history ended up more meaningful to me: while I am most well-known for Stratechery, I am equally proud of the paid newsletter model — services like Substack were based on Stratechery [...]

I had no idea the link was that explicit. Indeed, the linked interview with Substack founder explicitly says they were inspired by Ben Thompson's Stretchery blog.
RSS is amazing! But do you know what is even better? RSS feeds that can be rendered by a browser and explain to a user the concept of #RSS.
@darekkay wrote a really nice blog post on how to do that and I adapted it for a #Django project i am working on. Even if you are not interested in Django it might be an interesting introduction and I highly recommend checking out the examples and Darek's blog post.
I dunno why i was looking around for another newsreader - sure the preview window could use an articles image BUT its just doing its job - No adds - No AI / Suggestion bs about what i should also read
its just an App doing what im expecting it to do
read from the sources and gimme em uuuh rss i 🧡 uuuuu
Oh, by the way, if I'm one of your subscribers on Substack and you see me unsubscribe, it's not you... it's not me either... It's mostly Substack and the fact that I'd like to regain control of my mailbox (and stop missing the actual emails I need to reply to and that get drowned into all the Substack posts)
If I read you, don't worry, I still follow you and read you in my RSS feed (actually it's more likely that I'll read you there than in my inbox)
lembrei de quando eu seguia os tutes do @augustocc via rss
isso foi no começo de ano passado, eu ainda não tinha Mastodon, estava aprendendo a explorar o rss e tinha recebido a recomendação do perfil de Augusto por meio do fórum Órbita, do Manual do Usuário
acabei abandonando esse feed do Augusto, porque eu sempre ficava perdido quando ele respondia alguém kk

#Frage - Was nimmt man heute als #RSS Client in Linux (Ubuntu), das auch mit "modernen" Feeds klar kommt? Ja, Thunderbird geht... gibts noch was anderes?
How to combine @FreshRSS and @omnivoreapp to have a curated reading experience. Our community member Riiku explained how to set everything in this article: https://buff.ly/3IKbHXB
This time on #ReallySpecificStories, I'm joined by @scottwillsey, who discusses his history of following tech podcasts and what it has been like to co-host shows like @friendswbrews. He also asserts the importance of #accessibility and benefits of listening to (and being part of) a minority, citing lessons from @parallel and his childhood experience as an American in Japan.
How do people use feed readers? Every time I try its overwhelming. I have like 4 sources and every hour there's like 100 new articles. Everything just gets buried.
Genuine question. How many more times does #BigTech censorship have to take place against journalists before you start writing on your own websites and directing people to your #RSS feed instead of relying on your social media traffic? There's thousands of places that will host your own website for you, for a price. I list a few below! No, it's not free, but how many times does this have to happen to you? https://www.thehandbasket.co/p/kansas-reflector-meta-facebook-column-censored
And here, I list a bunch of places that will host your own website for you!
I’ll subscribe to all of the feeds in RSS Club, which is a grouping of feeds with content that is only in the RSS feed, but so far, every feed I’ve checked has the content listed on their blog or journal page. #RSShttps://daverupert.com/rss-club/
My hot take for the day. Maybe @potus should have a blog with an #RSS feed, separated by categories, into short and long statements, instead of a threads account backed by a private corporation? And or an official podcast where posts are read out loud for us podcast fans?
Ne du, so was wie #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage & #Ecosia liefern Daten ihrer Crawler wie #Bing (M$) und/oder #Google. Pseudonymisiert ist nicht anonym, denn die sind vertraglich dazu verpflichtet.
🧵 …eine spezifische Suchmaschine nur für Blogs und Podcasts ist @feedle, nicht wie die oben erwähnten. Die Ergebnisse sind Hauptsächlich auf Englisch aber doch sehr spannend und umfangreich. Somit lässt sich leicht die gewünschten RSS und/oder Atom Feeds finden um die online Medien zu abonnieren.
