  • Okay, that is very weird. With your link it worked now. I am using NetNewsWire and would like to add https://www.reddit.com/r/dayoneapp to the feed. But with https://www.reddit.com/r/dayoneapp.rss I get an error message that the feed would not exist. https://www.reddit.com/r/beebutts.rss does not work either, https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA.rss works. I am starting to feel stupid.



  • I’m quite pessimistic in that area. As the others already said, there seems to be no way to stop it. Even if there was one (maybe there is), the tech companies would not want to walk down that path. In my understanding, only a loss of active users and therefore a loss of profit could make them change their mind. Lemmy, Mastodon, BookWyrm & Co. exist, the users could walk away, but those alternatives do not change much. Yet.

    To make it worse: The conflict “they vs. us” between advertisement-and-click-driven and FOSS networks might get more intense. They say competition is good for the market, but I am not so sure what will be the outcome of all this.
