Are you building a list of inputs that agree with you? Are you including people who you respect but disagree with? What about people you can’t stand at all? The point is that curation of an RSS reader forces one to think about their inputs, and to exercise their values in doing so. It’s a decent little list and an associate sent it for sharing in our latest Daily Links. Last week Daniel Miessler wrote about the upsides of Really Simple Syndication, or RSS for short (same as my initials!), listing the virtues of it. It’s also dangerous because it encourages uniformal thinking, which permits no real deviation from some norm (and that norm too gets changed over time, can be applied retroactively).
They get to decide who can and cannot speak (or who to). Unlike E-mail or newsgroups (USENET) or even some assorted bulletin boards, what we have is communication conglomerates. The centralisation associated with social control media is very dangerous because it places great power in very few hands. Someone tried to de-platform me using something I had written years ago, taken out of context and misrepresented (of course, the usual). I myself was recently at risk of censorship at Twitter. TECHRIGHTS is not on social control media. Summary: Our longstanding position on social control media (we reject it and don’t participate in it) is only proven ever more justified now that the mere idea of fact-checking is seen as controversial if not illegal Last year we moved from Thunderbird to QuiteRSS, as it has a broad range/wealth of features (we compared it to many other RSS/XML tools we also developed our own) Roy Schestowitzįollow us directly, not through intermediaries/ middlemen (where innocent uses of non-gender-neutral terms can get one de-platformed) If You Want to Support and Follow Us ‘Properly’, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is Most Reliable and Robust to Censorship
