I don't think Feedly is necessarily doing anything wrong. Publisher beware kinda comes with the territory like making sure you don't accidentally send too many emails. It's kind of a quirk of centralization that you would have the recourse of "sorry, can I unsend that?" with the pubsub model to begin with.
But I agree that it would certainly be nice if they offered a way to delete content. For example, an interesting attack on a website would be to silently add spam to their RSS feed knowing it will be stored in RSS aggregators forever. That doesn't seem great.
- kn100 5y agoI wonder how much data you could encode in an RSS feed and therefore retrieve from services like Feedly? I remember reading a while ago about movie piracy sites that would store chunks of encrypted video inside images and host these images on services like Google Drive, and then client side download these 'images' in order to reassemble a film. I wonder if a similar thing would be possible with and RSS feed? Feedly seems more than happy to store the entire content of every post I've made!
