[aciccarello] GWG, on the subject of social readers I wish activity which as likes wouldn't be shown the same as a blog in my RSS feed. I hide a lot of activities because I don't want them to be noisy.
#
[aciccarello] [artlung]'s newsletter format made me think of it

#
doesnm (a)social networks solved one thing same as rss: same style for all stuff. And i don't think it's robbing, it's just fine

lecaseus Hey all! I'm wanting to promote a blog I published just now but I'm unsure of the proper channels to do so (ᵕˆヮˆ)

[Trevor_Morris] I spent all yesterday *tinkering* on my website, when I should've really been writing my movie blog post! Oops

lesleylai I usually go to people's websites to read. RSS readers only provide the minimum reading experience (similar to the browser reader mode). They usually can't handle interactive demos, sidenotes, etc.

#
lesleylai I think it depends on whether a website's style adds something or serve as distractions. For sites I follow via feeds, it's usually the former.

[Trevor_Morris] Reading in RSS vs website comes down to "it depends". For some I simply read in my RSS reader, but most I click through to the website.

wturrell I’m finding that there’s a far higher proportion of IndieWeb sites worth reading in a browser just because so many of them have unique or creative designs. RSS is mainly good for filtering out clutter, both within posts, but also “busy” sites where a lot of posts simply aren’t worth reading or the title tells you all you need to know

wturrell It'd be nice if there was a (feedbin.com compatible) feed reader that remember your per-site preferences: e.g. show whatever's in the RSS, "extract full content", or take me to the site itself

morganwebdev Regarding RSS and seeing site style and design, I think I just interpret this under the over-arching umbrella principle of seeking calmness and quietness amongst the potential chaos. Once I find a link thats fresh or good stuff from my RSS bookmarks in a calmer reading update environment, then I go and dive into the site often to see changes/what its like

[Trevor_Morris] [Al_Abut] I've been thinking about some topics for September’s IndieWeb MovieClub, in case someone doesn't choose one. Here's some suggestions;

[Trevor_Morris] Buster Keaton (too close to Chaplin)
#
[Trevor_Morris] Specific Movies:
#
[Trevor_Morris] A movie starring Juliette Binoche
#
[Trevor_Morris] Ingmar Bergman movie - I have seen none
#
[Trevor_Morris] Twilight series

#
[Trevor_Morris] 78/52 - documentary about Pyscho

#
tdrayson that sounds like a lot of responsibility. i'm only just finding my way around here 🤣
#
[Mike] I’ve never heard of The Invite before, but it sounds like it could be a good double feature with The Invitation, a decent little indie thriller that sounds sort of like its evil twin. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wcFaLtnx43w&ra=m

[tantek] [Mike] decided to write-up the various links I have shared about the problem I mentioned in the #indieweb-cafe today, and start providing some thoughts about actions to take: https://tantek.com/2026/241/t1/ai-llm-agent-concerns-security-open-web
#
Loqi [preview] [Tantek Çelik] Due to recent reports about “AI”/LLM/“agent” tools and services, I have growing concerns that the #security properties of the open web are changing, or have already changed, in practice, to a degree that we haven’t seen in many years. This...
