Not knowing how people might respond to this post I didn't think to be clearer.
The RSS protocol works as well as it ever did. I'm not mourning the protocol. And yes there are sites that do publish feeds, some even full-feeds but many just excerpts.
What I am mourning is the future where people published for themselves and shared content via RSS. But companies that depend upon advertising are inimical to that future and they won (at least for now).
It's that future that I mourn for.
- rambambram 5y agoI upped both of you. I didn't even really know about RSS up until recently (as in, I know what it is, looks like, etc. but never really used it). I find it sooo delightful that now I go looking for feeds, that (still?) basically every weblog has them. What a treasure! Definitely going to do something with it.
- mkotowski 5y agoFor websites without an RSS feed, you can try to generate one using self-hosting RSS Bridge[1]. There are some instances with open access, though supposedly some may work more reliably than others. [1]: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge
