Have you tried openrss.org? It has RSS feeds for many sections. Just type in the abc.net.au website to see what’s available there.

Yeah my car is about 13 years old. Still has CD player. Will drive it until I die.

Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.

Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn’t sound too “techy”, not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

Ok you’ve peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It’s almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

AllSides is a good one too

Wow what a great community idea! As more product reviews are added, it would make Lemmy more indexable to search engines as well.

That level of feed curation will appeal more to the masses, yeah. Just no one has started an instance like that yet. Although you seem like the perfect person, based on your analysis and responses. 😉

Bluesky is closer to what you’re describing. The platform is more centralized and the feeds are more curated for the masses.

Very true. But that’s what we can create whole instances for: to be the site you think will attract the users you want. With curated feeds, less pervy content, whatever.

There’s nothing stopping anyone from starting a whole new world they want to see in the fediverse. Lemmy and other fedi apps are built like this for that very purpose.

A centralized frontend and a decentralized backend seems great in theory, but I’m not quite sure that’s even possible without some one or some group owning the centralized frontend. And if one single entity controls the frontend, it defeats the purpose of decentralization. We want to avoid any one person or group owning the flow of our communication.

Great research! Thank you for at least looking into this, as I’ve been having this issue for months now. Just to add to your information, I’d probably rule out Ublock origin. Because it happens even when using Firefox on my Android, which doesn’t have any plugins installed. I’ve even tried using Brave on my Android and still get the same behavior. Refreshing fixes it and logs me in automatically (sometimes). Other times I have to actually log in again. Hope this helps!

Sounds like you might just want the news without fluff.

I use AllSides as my main news source for federal news. Give them a try. The writing is succinct and gets straight to the point.

They give you news of the day in small chunks separated by topic. Each topic has a quick context, run down of what’s happening, and (my favorite) how the left right and center outlets are all covering it.

They also have an RSS feed (provided by Open RSS because they dont serve their own feeds. https://openrss.org/allsides.com

Good god! That was a good laugh 😂. Desperate to advertise to people who don’t want to be advertised to. Exploiting activity history of anonymous users? Uh… that’s the whole reason people post anonymously. Because they don’t want to be associated with their activity. How exactly is this a good strategy, again?
