Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
(lemmy.world)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Because then they can avoid social media again by building their own catalog of interest.
For me, the value of RSS is bypassing the fucking algorithm.
Just give me the raw feed from the websites I like. No suggestions, no "someone else liked this." Just the raw firehose of content that I asked for.
I mean algorithms have their flaws but there is a reason they became popular.
Subscribe to a dozen RSS feeds and suddenly you have more content then you can read with no easy way to sort through the chuff. Also no easy way to discover content beyond your feeds.
The way I like it. The showRSS feed is beautiful after using Google Home feed for so long. I'll never go back to ads and Google trying to sell me pixel products and reviews every day
