I see a lot of people complaining about how "RSS readers went away." It's a bit baffling, because they didn't. You just stopped using them 🤷

@nyquildotorg I take it usually to mean "RSS died as a quasi-community", not that the technology itself somehow went away. RSS only exists now for people who actively seek it out and might as well be completely gone for the rest; hence the userbase and support will only ever be shrinking as time goes on @nyquildotorg people want an RSS reader that does all the work for them these days, it needs to pick new content based on their previous subscriptions and click-through rates of articles
they want an AIRSS reader (this whole post exists because AIRSS sounds a little like "arse") @nyquildotorg I get your point but I feel like the underlying issue is nobody provides RSS feeds themselves. You can't get a feed from Youtube or Twitter or Tiktok or Instagram and those are the websites that people actually use. |
