Tiny Tiny RSS is dead
leyrer (@[email protected])

Tiny Tiny RSS is finally dead. Good riddance. We do not need FOSS maintained by right wing idiots. https://community.tt-rss.org/t/the-end-of-tt-rss-org/7164/2

I’m always a little torn on projects like this.

On the one hand, I know a few people who have hosted tt-rss and the software worked very well for them and their needs.

On the other hand, software whose maintainers have fascist tendencies, or are at best super edge-lords, and which maintains a culture in the developers and community that’s just super toxic is not something I ever wish to support or be associated with.

I have similar feelings on the hyperland project, or suckless software. What i have personally settled on is to not touch the software myself, and give a slight disclaimer when recommending it to others.

I suppose unmaintained can be added to the disclaimer for this one now. At least we have a plethora of very nice alternatives in the rss space with projects like freshrss, miniflux, and nextcloud news.

I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I’d need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.

The best use case for RSS for me is getting updates from journals and github releases. Also subscribing to youtube channels feeds is convenient since i dont have to visit their website regularly and can just watch the channels that im interested in.

Until reddit shut off the RSS feeds, Geddit (Android app RSS reader for reddit) was very useful to me.

Allowed following of niche/particular subs without drama

Unfortunately, many of those closely focused, well moderated and useful communities continue to exist only on reddit

reddit still has rss feeds. You have to use the old reddit links, like <#^https://old.reddit.com/r/science.rss>

Interesting. Apparently the Geddit app has been abandoned/unmaintained since 2 years … Huh
