Interesting. I saw it as a glorified bookmarking service and saw the readability concerns as what raised red flags for me: mozilla just inherently isn't interested in competing on value rather than on marketing.
- Multicomp 1y agoThey killed off the live bookmarks feature that I still miss in favor of this and it was never the same. My rss feeds are still around from then. Glad I didn't invest in this fad.
- fkfyshroglk 1y agoThere is still no solid way to persist RSS feeds (...especially the content they actually refer to) to private storage. Any serious archiving service today will need to undertake snapshotting a website as it stands without relying on such sickly, secondary signals. ...but where RSS is reliable, yes, it's amazing.
- nimbius 1y agothe internet is no longer designed to be readable. it is designed to be profitable.
- Henchman21 1y agoIts also no longer designed for users, but for the advertisers and bots.
- fkfyshroglk 1y agoYea, but that matters less than you think in this context as what I want (a bookmark service for bookmarks) matters a lot less than how the service is marketed and funded.
