The internet has massively sucked for quite a while now. @pluralistic calls this Enshittification. Let's talk about it and some ways we can get around it. In this installment I talk about cutting the noise of the internet with an RSS Reader. https://deadbeatguitarist.ca/2026/01/13/fight-against-the-enshittification-of-the-internet-with-an-rss-reader/ #enshittification #rss #fluentreader #takebacktheinternet #rssguard #linux #news #coreydoctorow #rssreaders #bigtech #techbros #mastodon

Pre-release builds ready to test!

Hi everyone, PLEASE boost this! ​​

I wanted to mention again that we have created a community fork of Fluent Reader, a cross-platform RSS reader whose development is currently a bit stalled. Our fork is called Fluentflame Reader.

We don't have a stable release yet, but we already have testing versions for those who want to try it out and give us feedback or report bugs.

We have an updated code base; in fact, that was one of the reasons the project started: to fix bugs and transition from deprecated dependencies to more stable ones. Contribution guidelines? Yes! Code of conduct? Of course! Position on AI code? Banned!

If you're interested, you can take a look at:

Je continuais à utiliser feedly notamment à cause d'Android pour ma veille via flux #rss. Depuis hier, mon compte est fermé, grâce à flux de @zaclys . Import des données exportées fluides. Un peu de chipot pour piger comment configurer le client sur pc parce que j'avais pas lu la doc aha. J'utilise #fluentreader sur pc et #reedyou sur #android maintenant. Aller, l'assainissement des pratiques numériques continue. C'est long, mais le processus est très satisfaisant.

I recently switched #RSSReaders from #TheOldReader to #Inoreader because I wanted more features. Their website isn't the greatest place to read feeds as far as #accessibility goes(I switched to their beta and am giving them some recommendations though, so hopefully that will change), so I'm looking for a good #Windows #app that will sync with Inoreader. I use #FieryFeeds on #iOS but I'm on my computer a lot, so I'd love a Windows app. Can anyone recommend one? I've tried several but they either didn't sync with it or accessibility was bad. Some of the ones I've tried are #FluentReader, #RavenReader, #QuiteRSS, #FeedDemon, #RSSGuard, #RSSOwlnix, and #MyReader. The last one is the only one that seemed to work with Inoreader but accessibility is pretty poor. If any others I mentioned work for you, how did you set it up? If you're using something else, what is it?
