RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.@Daojoan feel it. I‘m on TikTok / Shorts / Reels Detox right now. Start to feel a lot better. That short vid stuff is exhausting long term.

@mu Maybe the feed I subscribed to years ago stopped working. I unsubscribed and forgot about it.

Thats awesome!

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

But it was yours.@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.

Was?
It's still around. -
@Daojoan Even these got ruined nowadays. RSS feeds often don't have the full article text. Email contains tracking pixels and links. "Blogs" have texts behind paywalls and cookie warnings. We need the old web back.

@Daojoan I wish the major browsers would bring back built in RSS!
@scottwhat
FeedBro is a nifty extension.

Neither did XMPP.

@Daojoan Yep, I've noticed that lately I've been regressing my tech a bit, and it feels great. Also, old models with new tooling makes for a better experience, as long as that tooling isn't made by the corps that got us in the current mess.
