So I think Gemini protocol and gopher are neat and all, but just a little lacking in features (gem not having images or message boards for example). Is there anything else thats slightly more like the web in ~04 ish? Muddying the waters with another protocol is probably a bad idea but something like this could be cool…
I do enjoy RSS on capy reader, its finding more of those blogs !
Human curation (the art of selecting and sharing valuable resources) was always at the hearth of RSS and of blogs at their peak (before they became a marketing playground in which most only looked for ways to monetize ‘their audience’ and/or milk every single cent out of them)
No surprise either that Google and the likes of it are trying so hard to get rid of both RSS and human curation (blogs or otherwise) so they can push humanity aside of the process of accessing to info/knowledge and instead promote their own algorithm (and now, their AI) as the way to access info and knowledge.
Maybe we could start a thread sharing worth reading blogs that still offer RSS, there are a lot less but there are… Sadly, I’m willing to bet it would not take of as already so, so many of us are addicted to being fed content (even quality content, btw) without having to search for it. Fingers crossed I’m wrong.
Totally, and RSS has been shoved under the rug for years. No one I know knows what it is at all. And like you said theyre addicted to fb reel streams and theres no changing that.
So many folks have forgot how to explore. Myself included. Ive had to retrain my brain. Gemini has helped with that, just exploring capsules on there is really fun. But its so hard explaining to Normie’s anythibg they can’t find in 1 gooe search.
I’m afraid it is true for all of us, more or less visibly. We’ve all been lazy and the cost is high… and quick. Contrary to real hard work, which is very slow to reward anyone.
Oh man, thats exactly it. EVERYONE wants a quick Fix a tip a cheat etc no one wants to actually learn shit or finds the reward in hard work. Its frustrating and destroying their brains.
