Since at least the moment Facebook introduced (and apologized for) its News Feed, “the algorithm” has been shorthand for the ways the tech giants control what we see and when we see it. In the age of enshittification, there is a push to reclaim our feeds and networks. Good news: there’s a tool that’s been around for decades that can help wrangle many of your feeds into something manageable: Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known as RSS.
Fediverse integration into feed readers seems like next step for them. Not just a link to share an article, but integrated discussion using your preferred Lemmy or Mastodon or whatever server. It would have to discover threads since you are getting the actual link from RSS.
