To help protect Signal users from phishing and social engineering attacks, we’ve introduced additional confirmations and educational messaging in the app to help people better detect fraudulent profiles, especially message requests from scammers posing as Signal.

More changes are on the way.

I find it such a weird meme that RSS/Atom is dead. Literally every blogging platform has RSS/Atom support. Not just the "indie" ones, even the big corporate ones, like Substack and Medium. Every mastodon account has a built-in RSS feed. Every Bluesky account has a built-in RSS feed. Almost every major news site has an RSS or Atom feed. WordPress automatically produces RSS feeds (and WordPress powers almost half the Web).

RSS and Atom are almost certainly even more ubiquitous than they were in the 2000s, if only because the web has gotten so much bigger than it was back then.

There are more podcasts now than there ever have been, and each of these has an RSS feed.

Every fucking YouTube channel has an RSS feed. In 2005 there were probably fewer than 20 million blogs. Right now there are more than a hundred million YouTube channels.

RSS/Atom is bigger than ever.

#Panoramax is an open and #federated alternative to #StreetView, born from collaboration between France’s national mapping agency #IGN and the French #OpenStreetMap community. With over 100 million geolocated images and a foundation in the making, the project aims to grow beyond its French origins.

Neat new service called Sourcefeed from Terry Godier to publish RSS feeds:

"RSS-only. No website, no inbox, no algorithm. Subscribers read it where they choose, in whatever reader they already trust."

My first feature request: let the title field be blank for short posts. 🙂

Today I'm launching Sourcefeed - a pop-up RSS service

Why? Some writing wants to be a website. Some wants to be a newsletter. Some wants to be a feed. Sourcefeed is for the third kind. RSS-only. No website, no …

🚨Age verification seems to be unstoppable. 🚨

Following the Australian precedence, Greece & Brazil now also passed laws that will require age checks for social media.🇦🇺🇬🇷 🇧🇷

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!
