Saw this go around, and made me even happier for putting in the effort to get comfortable with RSS as a news feed. It has been well worth it.

(Personally been enjoying Capy Reader from F-Droid; tried a few online-based ones for portability, but success came when I eventually realized I like the simplicity and anonymity of a local-only reader, and I really only look at it on my phone anyway.)

As always, @pluralistic is a must-read (though good luck keeping up).

@bluegreenandfree @pluralistic Will check the #RSS reader you are using.
Currently I'm using Feeder, obviously from F-Droid, too.

Composting the confusion: A critical response to the misreading of the #Openweb

“It’s fascinating to see how the #OpenWeb ideology was formed in the late aughts… Open Web evangelists criticizing early Facebook for being too private is an incredible heap of irony.”

— [Someone missing the point entirely]

@strypey my feeling is we haven't yet begun to see what a fully developed #fediverse looks like (including in this definition #atproto, decentral/distributed protocols but also forgotten "low-tech": anything that can be interoperable)

The current adoption landscape ( #rss, #bluesky, #mastodon) highlights various technical possibilities but doesnt span whats possible, nor what is needed.

These three datapoints define a plane of possibilities but the actual space is probably much bigger.
