Besides everything in rss.chat being based on open standards that don't lock up data, another main "feature" that I see is no algorithmic filtering, just a reverse chronologic presentation of posts as back in the day when social networks first started.

Cool! Like that I can back and edit an entry.

I enjoy trying new things, particularly while on coffee shops I have never visted before in a town (Fort Collins, CO) that I have only visited only a handful number of times.

I see how this could be useful to host one's own online community. 

A thought... I think it would be nice if there was a "default" view setting that put messages with replies in a threaded view. I think this would be an improvement over how other apps present message timelines.

Left Twitter years ago, and not crazy about BlueSky.  Let's see if we can re-evolve together

And formatting?!

It's already better than Twitter! 🤣

A thought that occurs to me a lot while living alone in a small apartment: I'm the only person responsible for myself. It comes up when I hear about men in straight cohabitating couples do less than half of the housework. I'm not here to deny that. I'm here to say that peopl...

We just simplified the way feeds are stored. 

The server doesn't have to create a space on S3, we handle it all in our server.

This was the biggest stumbling block in setting up demo.rss.chat -- and I knew what I was doing. 

RSS to the rescue!

Very interesting concept here will be curious to see how it plays out as well.

Testing rss.chat to see what it's about.

1. 6
2. 5
3. 4
4. 3
5. 2
6. 1

So, what's all this then?!

Testing 1,2,3...

thanks for giving us a sandbox to play in!

lol the usual :-)

Not as-is, if they add a couple of features to their RSS feeds, and treat comments as blog posts with their own permalinks, then yes, it can. 

I took a class in dehypnotherapy a long time ago, and there was a meditation exercise where the class leader told us to think about someone who hurt you as a kid. My father, who drank a lot, was who I thought of. Now respond to what they did to hurt you as part of the medita...

Sounds like a job for an agent, “keep an eye on posts and assess against guidelines”.

I get that you might not want to repeat the many missteps of Social Media 1.0. And adding a ‘report’/‘block’ feature might feel like the beginning of a road nobody here (your friends and extended friends) wants to travel.

I’m guessing any moderation would be at the app level as the ultimate source of truth is what’s in the various RSS feeds? So… a block is not a block if someone can find it on the .rss? Although people can edit anytime, right? 

So many cans, so many many worms.

Hey Dave, thanks for your perpetual thought Leadership! Your daily email is a constant source of encouragement and inspiration!

I look forward to thinking more about RSS.chat and Claude.

Keep on trucking!

If you need to “let go” of a feeling or an unwanted thought, try visualizing it. What works often enough for me is taking a thought or feeling, and imagining putting it on a raft that’s floating on a river and watching, in my mind, the river take the raft away. If the raft comes back, so be it. But it usually doesn’t.

I’m sad the feeds don’t work, iPad OS Safari doesn’t like non secure urls 

Hello World

Can my WordPress site be an RSS server for RSS chat? People following me on rss chat respond and it shows up in the comments of my website. 

I am still only half-way there with the

ActivityPub

. Is rss.chat aiming at the same space? 

I get the RSS part, and with the feed I can do many things, but how do I get my friends/followers from other networks to find my 'new' feed? Is this the place to explore with additional apps/plugins

I agree ... still trying to figure out the use cases ...

This is cool. Not yet there to wrap my head around it though. 

Interesting…

World / RSS / Chat / there / here ... now!

Who is it who 
Who is it who 
Who is it who 
Who is it 

What is it 
What is it 
What is it 
What is it 

Oh...Oh baby it's you!!

Playing around, trying a heading, some formatting, and a link.

And I can edit this :)

PS:  Now it works! thanks again @dave
