I've been using an RSS reader for a few months to get news and other updates about things and honestly it's great. I don't get served clickbait or rage-bait articles now compared to when news used to be served to me by an algorithm.

we need a wasteof rss feed
that’s funny because i was thinking of making it like 2 hours ago (i’m about to go to sleep though i’ll do it tomorrow (liar (probably)))
wait do people not use rss readers
I think a lot of people think RSS is an obsolete technology. Plus a lot of news sites that have an RSS feed don't advertise it much nowadays.
if it’s obsolete then what succeeds it? nothing does, it’s still just rss
things like google news and the discovery tab in the google app
what is “google news”
lmgtfy…
i don’t think you know what an rss feed is
I don’t think you know that I do
I was saying that things like google news and the discovery tab in the google app succeed rss.
but you clearly don’t
google news, which is an app to read news, has nothing to do with rss, a syndication protocol. how on earth does an app succeed a protocol? that makes no sense.
how so? I’ve literally used RSS to read news for several months on end since I didn’t have another solution
it’s not necessarily that the app succeeds the protocol. it’s the fact that not many people use RSS, and more people have started to use apps like I’ve talked about.
did you only say this to start an argument with me.
nope
definitely seems like it. i just feel that it’s weird that you purposefully misinterpreted me then started acting weird after i expressed my confusion.
This is clearly a misunderstanding. @radi8 was just saying that they believe that things like Google News that essentially aggregates news with algorithms rather than allowing the user to add the sources themselves is seen by many as the successor to RSS (which it isn’t, but radi8 was pointing out that many likely do think that). I wouldn’t say or suggest that radi8 was trying to upset or argue with you. Also can we please not argue lol.
i mean it’s happened more than once so i’d say it’s perfectly fair for me to assume that the same thing is happening again
and anyway, i agree with you, a news aggregating app is not the same thing as a protocol used to syndicate multiple different types of content
Fair enough, I don’t know about previous situations, so I wasn’t aware you may have thought that. Glad we can sort it out tho :)
agree. when I was typing earlier I didn't word things how I wanted to, as it was very early in the morning. but that is essentially what I was trying to say.
Yeah that’s what I guessed, glad to sort it out :)
