I’m not really a totsean I have known of it for a long time and maybe went there a handful of times in the web forum days but I think it’s wild their community has outlived their forum and drifts through the internet and I’ll probably post there once in awhile now.

I think RSS-based content and wikis are the two top things to keep. Blogs and newsletters have been making a fantastic upswing, and podcasts have done so good at making great stuff for all kinds of people (including terrible stuff for terrible people). Forums are nice. I feel torn about YouTube, it's tough to want to encourage people to rely on algorithms for recommending content, even though I'm hooked on tiktok. My rule of thumb I guess is the more hyper specialized and small-time the content, the better. Everyone's mentioned diy appliance repair videos, which is a great example. Websites with PDFs of every manual out there are a must-save for me, also.

i mean these things can be separate the good thing about youtube is the content that is on there. or at least a lot of it. that's completely separate from the algorithm. like, i'm not an engineer, but it doesn't seem impossible to make a site in which anyone can upload and share videos and which doesn't have some kind of recommendation algorithm that constantly sticks hosed up poo poo in your face. like it could just be that the only way you find new videos is through people you've intentionally subscribed to, or stuff that you search for via tags, and that's it, with nothing else being fed to you. no "people who watched X also watched Y" crap, just stuff you the user actively look for.

I gotta say YouTube’s algorithm doesn’t feel as egregiously out to get me in the same way as Facebook’s does. Like on Facebook if I try to tell the algorithm to stop showing me something I find upsetting it’s pretty much a surefire way to have it start shoving it in my face. Facebook’s algorithm is like a bully, you got to not let it know it’s getting to you.

What's a good RSS app? I tried the Google Chrome "following" one—which isn't the same thing—but so far I hate it. I'm just looking for something simple.

Seconding soulseek. You should use Nicotine+ as it really is the better client these days. Just don't check the irc bit unless you wanna see some real bozos.

It depends on what sort of experience you want and what you’re trying to track with RSS. Do you want to get news articles like it’s the front page of the internet? Do you want to follow the one good thread from a handful of lovely forums? Do you want to funnel the activity of a bunch of slow forums into one place so there’s always activity? Also I’ve noticed that when I find an RSS reader I like for one platform it’s unavailable for other platforms so it might be good to mention your OS. Also RSS is supported a lot more than you think but you have to dig for it. There are tools you can find with google that you can point at a url and find out if it has feeds. Also sometimes you can find out what software a site uses and google if it supports feeds somehow. I’m not fully into the swing of using RSS but I have a lot of it set up and I remember it’s there when the internet sucks. “Why am I reading this crap I know where I can probably find something good”

Short form content makes me feel like disoriented and unhappy within a few minutes of starting watching, can’t stand it. By that I mean the TikTok and (eurgh) facebook shorts style. Facebook shorts or reels or whatever the gently caress it’s called is I think the very bottom of the barrel of human culture, the absolute worst.

Tik tok made me feel so awful I uninstalled it a day after I tried it. Instagram being used as people's TikTok mirror sites has also ruined Instagram, but that's partly Insta's fault for prioritizing reels to compete with TikTok.

It's constantly refreshing to blast new video content at your face every few seconds. It feels like there's no rest between getting shotgunned in the face by content. Its like being assaulted by the Internet and left me with a feeling that can only be described as that greasy, heartburny sensation you get after having too many slices of pizza.
