We should stop and take an enormous appreciation for the total lack of control and censorship of the RSS protocol.

Its easy to forget when things work really well, but holy fuck through all of this, through the social censorship, through the advertiser attacks, the video hosting platforms, the search engines, and every other damn thing under the sun... if you have the RSS feed of the podcast you trust or value, you can always find that fucking show.

Imagine how much worse all of this would be without that avenue still open to us to share ideas?

The reason I bring this up is simply to remind us that this CAN work. It has worked. #Nostr could be the backbone for the social world.

I guess maybe not the "total lack" but I think you get the idea. RSS has been a largely independent ecosystem in this whole shitstorm. Hopefully it doesn't get wrapped up into things, maybe it will get attacked at some point. But its just nice to see it doing its job in spite of the many players that would rather it not.

🤘Yes sir, it WORKS !!!

Totalmente de acuerdo, #Nostr puede ser el Catalizador de el cambió de paradigma que se quiere con #Bitcoin.

I don’t even know what RSS is even though I’ve been on the Internet since 1995🤣 (That’s the level of my genius😂)

Real Simple Syndication. It's a way to publish lists of linkable content which are easily processed by scripts/apps. Podcasts still syndicate this way to this day.

Thanks

Thank you too! From an old guy trying to learn!

Yep

RSS is not only for podcasts. Shout out to Tiny Tiny RSS. I basically have my own completely self hosted and self curated news feed where I can get high quality info from sources like nostr:npub1hxjnw53mhghumt590kgd3fmqme8jzwwflyxesmm50nnapmqdzu7swqagw3

SMG CENSORED LOL That's what you signed up for don't be a cry baby about it

Liked my own post🍆

Always hoped TV would switch to RSS feeds like radio has. Never did happen..... still have to go to YouTube for everything. Hopefully NOSTR fixes this.

Odyssey/LBRY allows to get RSS link for a channel.

Import it into an app that supports video podcasts and you can watch that channel's videos via RSS 😁

I very much agree. Self-interested podcasters need to do a better job of promoting their RSS feed over the walled garden platforms. I get anno

True, rss is great to keep tabs on stuff and view it ad-free and without clutter. From youtube to twitter to blogs and podcasts. Eazy to export and import. Love rss ❤️

RSS is one of the best ways to stay current with subscriptions with regards to privacy.

RSS feeds can be easily built into a browser, or in a FOSS client like Thunderbird. Avoiding apps that collect private information is one of the best privacy protections.

I have you playing in VLC right now. 💪

Btw, the rss feed link on your website wont work in VLC. Idk what’s up with that.

From what I understand, colleague, we are summarily attacked by the algorithms of these centralized platforms and colluding with the idiotic government regulations, which they love to manipulate and monitor us to send us products and services that we didn't ask for and/or don't need. Worse than that, if we don't agree with certain policies, the platforms censor us. Long live #Nostr #censorship #freedom

I run cafe-society.news - a site that aggregates user configured rss feeds with the nostr global channel. Filtered by client side machine learning training and prediction. I'm looking for ideas how to connect the reader to the author and other readers financially.
