RSS never tracked you

@martin_ueding @denzilferreira @patrick_h_lauke @Daojoan

People actually read stuff on the interwebz and write you a mail ??

Thats awesome!

@martin_ueding @denzilferreira @patrick_h_lauke @Daojoan

Well RSS is something I should implement for my SSG.Thanks for reminding me.

@Daojoan *Data harvesters and Advertisers and their grifters all looking at this scornfully*

@Daojoan BBSs never drowned you in BS.

@Daojoan my website for my music has rss and zero tracking.

@Andres

Email has its flaws, but it's the lingu-franca of communications.

Pretty much the first thing I do in any _other_ communication platform is enable email notifications. SalesForce, Trello, Jira, GitHub, Teams, Chatter, Yammer, Slack, or whatever the latest $DAYJOB hawtness is for improving team communication? Send it all to email. If it doesn't show up in my email inbox, it might as well not exist.

Tangentially, I use rss2email, so even my RSS feeds show up in my email

@Daojoan

I still use/do all of them - its up to us to keep it that way ...

@Daojoan Thankfully it's all still there. I can't for sure that life is better without Instagram or TikTok, as I've never used either, but I can tell you I still enjoy the many blogs I read, the forums I frequent, and the emails I exchange with good people.

I just want to remind you all. @Daojoan https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan/114587431688413845

@temptoetiam @Andres @Daojoan Thanks, i'd never thought of doing that; Schema/syntax for rssing blusky accounts:
Eg.

@Daojoan Completely agree, back then we were there for genuine user engagement and demand, not some algorithmic mission to the top

@Daojoan the Internet didn't change itself. People have the power to regulate the Internet. Unfortunately too many of us are suicidal racists.

@Daojoan
Was?
It's still around.

@forst
Try Gemini (the protocol).

@scottwhat
FeedBro is a nifty extension.
@Daojoan

@JennyFluff
Neither did XMPP.

@ainmosni @Daojoan Is there any new tooling in particular that you would like to share?

@Monolecte @Daojoan and RSS. Most podcast comes from podcasting platfirms that tracks the audio file download

@Daojoan IMHO it was perfect

and it is still - I still mostly use RSS and email

however: "Email never throttled you." -- yes, you could have been blocklisted
