hacker news rss feeds, Nice list of feeds to consider adding to your feed reader.

Some of the best things from the old internet are still preserved with RSS. Content is shared via simple files, which means the slow-loading, ad-stuffed and tracker-filled clutter of the modern internet are mostly absent.

There aren’t any algorithms. RSS readers are wonderfully dumb. There’s no AI sifting through content to find whatever will outrage you the most. You just get new posts and mark them as read. It’s a calmer world.

With RSS I follow lots of people writing about normal people things. People blog about getting back into playing the drums, a fun book they just read, a tough problem they’re working through and the other day to day things of life. This type of content tends to get buried on social media — it doesn’t get the clicks and sell ads like fear and outrage do.

I feel like a curmudgeon, but i feel all of these things. I dont think that the new web is completely terrible, what is terrible is that the options of an algorithm ran by companies with differing goals is seemingly the only option. RSS still works, its fantastic, I personally love it, but theres only a small fraction of the internet that it reaches both ways. Few people have a reader, even...

I rolled out the blogroll today, nothing pretty, but is one single page of the rss feeds I follow.

Oh, this kills me to hear it. RSS is the OG way to subscribe and share content out to others. It gives you control of what you subscribe to and reminds you when new content lands on your favorite sites. It is a huge component of web 1.0 and I feel is the most decentralized social media can ever hope to be.

Tons of cool people came out with their rss feeds here, again will need to browse more closely later.

Sturobson has a ton of rss feeds here, I recognize quite a few, will definitely need to poke at some of these later.

I love me some styled rss, it’s how the OG internet was made to be. You choose what you want to read and when. There is no middleman aggregator inflating the reach of things they want you to see or suffocating things against them. It’s just you and your internet friends.

Cassidy has a quite lovely and easy to read rss feed, with an open source style sheet, that is part of her open source blog template for astro blahg, love that name by the way!

I first learned of styled rss feeds from shoptalkshow.com, specifically from Dave Rupert.

Dave uses a pretty bog standard styled rss feed with Dec 18, 2024

YouTube makes finding rss feeds way too hard. Hats off to them for still supporting it, allowing you to find content outside the algorithm, and consuming content you asked for. But i had no idea you had to search the source code to get it.
