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.

The hyprland issues I’m aware of, but what’s the issue with suckless?
I vaguely remember something about some torchlit march (in Bavaria?) and people accusing suckless devs of being Nazis. Also their entire concept is just kind of elitist.
I really don’t understand why a March with torchs classifies them as fascists. It is very common here in the italian alps, that are very leftwing. They also have literally zero nazi symbols.
