[chrisaldrich] Not a fan of the traditional timeline reading UI? I ran into an interesting new interface for Mastodon reading: https://fasiha.github.io/yoyogi/ with motivations on their about page https://fasiha.github.io/yoyogi/about

[eddie] reader << a new interface experiment for Mastodon, with the idea of reading based on person rather than time-line or sorting algorithm. https://fasiha.github.io/yoyogi/about

jeremycherfas I have been using Buttondown almost since it launched. I am very happy with it, Justin is very responsive, but there are elements of the UI that continue to confuse me.
# jeremycherfas I was veryhappy to get away from Mailchimp, which is a dreadful nag.

# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "buttondown.email" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "buttondown.email is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# Loqi Buttondown is a hosted newsletter service designed for personal use https://indieweb.org/Buttondown

# [chrisaldrich] Some great history and pitfalls within social media in this post by danah boyd: https://zephoria.medium.com/what-if-failure-is-the-plan-2f219ea1cd62

# [tw2113_Slack_] oh look, medium doesn’t have an RSS feed…i don’t want to sign up to follow danah’s posts. I forget where I first heard of her, but i’ve been aware for a long while
# [benatwork] Wait WHAT?
# [benatwork] They removed the RSS feeds?!
# [benatwork] I worked so hard on those 😧
# [tw2113_Slack_] if there is, i wasn’t seeing it in an obvious way
# [benatwork] yeah, they messed up the meta links - it's not there in the articles anymore?!
# [benatwork] ffs
# [benatwork] the feed is medium.com/feed/@zephoria now, apparently
# [benatwork] (Julien did the bulk of the work on feeds, it's worth saying)
# [tw2113_Slack_] ooh, thanks Ben
# [tw2113_Slack_] i use an addon that detects and links to a found feed in my address bar, it must not recognize that link structure
# [benatwork] the metatags are no longer present when you're reading an article, so there was literally no way for it to find the feed
# [tw2113_Slack_] how rude of them
# [benatwork] I expect it's because the current team literally doesn't have RSS on its radar, which is kind of bad news

# [snarfed]2 Bridgy Fed users here, just FYI, I'm slowing down on the sprint I've been doing for the last month or so. lots of progress, details in https://snarfed.org/2022-12-03_bridgy-fed-updates and https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed . Let me know if you have any high priority outstanding bugs or feature requests that you want me to look at again!

# btrem https://chat.indieweb.org/2022-12-03/1670048201095100 aaronpk was referring to "public relations." But I read that and thought, "What pull request?" and that's how I know I spend too much time trying to learn git!
