       @craigmaloney part of the problem is the "popularity" of formats readable through the services of large companiesIf the format is not that accessible then the incentive to use it fades, to some people, becuse they're not in the game for political advances, but to get rewarded for their rich kids games

       @abbienormal My argument is that if we let companies lead the way we lose.We don't have to let them lead every single dance.

       @craigmaloneyRSS is still relevant in many places. I use NextCloud on an RPi4 to host a feed reader that pulls in over a hundred different RSS feeds from INFOSEC to Role-playing Game info. It's very much alive in my life.

       @craigmaloney Great read! For anyone else reading the thread: what's a good suggestion for providing a RSS feed for your website that's simple to implement? Is there any way to do it on a Github/Gitlab page?

       @andycuccaro @craigmaloney That depends on how your page is generated - in the end, it's just a bunch of files that are made available. On GitHub Pages, you're likely using Jekyll, and all you need to do is enable the jekyll-feed plugin: https://pages.github.com/versions/

       @andycuccaro @vinnl You're both fixing a problem for an author that isn't on Mastodon and will never read this solution.

       @craigmaloney @andycuccaro @vinnl I agree with the problem, but at least in this example there is light at the end of the tunnel! Github has built-in functionality to generate RSS feeds, so you don't need to contact the author of that blog.Subscribe to this url: `github.com/{user}/{repository}/commits/{branch}/{path-to-file-or-folder?}.atom`It is not ideal, but I use it for a couple of repositories and it's better than nothing.

       @craigmaloney @andycuccaro @vinnl And funny enough, I've been for holidays a couple of weeks and there is no way I'd had read this blog post without your RSS feed :).

       @noeldemartin That's pretty cool, thanks! It seems Gitlab offers very similar functionality. I'm a noob regarding webdev and I don't know much yet, but I wonder if it could be possible to offer a rss feed for a website hosted as a Gitlab Page... 🤔
