If you’re looking for an alternative to Feedly, Feedbin is made by a tiny team and is open source.
(Feedly have now deleted their blog post but you can read it at https://web.archive.org/web/20230329162149/https://blog.feedly.com/how-to-track-protests-in-your-market-with-feedly-ai/)
@tommi I’ve been really lazy with RSS lately. Must make an effort to get back into curating a feed. Laura’s far more organised than I am and she uses and loves it too.
ahahah Using the right tools does not mean being organized… my Feedbin feed is a total mess! I ended up checking it out very rarely because it becomes quickly overwhelming since it is full of longreads and cool stuff I would love to read but that I would never have the time to dove into.
@aral Good look sharing this. Thanks!
@aral saw this Feedly alert bar about “anti-AI riots” and I was like “huh?”
Free Palestine @aral when i got this notification it was just like huh? Did you mean to push this to a very small subset of your users? Bc nowhere did i indicate i am worried about protests or have assets to protect, or own/am affiliated with a company, and this seems like a targeted message that it'd be unwise to leak to the general public. Plus a really cynical and dangerous first use of AI.
But anyway good that its out in the open, now i know what they stand for.
@aral and, if you’re looking for new feeds to discover, our side project @feedle is also 100% free. Search and subscribe to each search via RSS: https://feedle.world
@preslavrachev @feedle Hi Preslav, I couldn’t find a link for the source code. When you said 100% free, did you mean free as in price? (If so, what’s your business model for Feedly? That is, how do you – or do you intend to – make money with it?) Thanks.
@aral Indeed, @feedle is free as in free-of-charge, but not yet open-source, as parts of it are property of the company I built it in collaboration with. The CMS behind it, is what the company currently pays the bills with.
That said, we would love to find a way, in which feedle could run sustainably. There are a couple of funding options we’re currently brainstorming on, but we want to keep the basics (search and subscribe to searches) free for everyone. Ideas are always appreciated.
@aral I used to love following RSS feeds with Google reader but Feedly never replaced it for me. Will definitely look at Feedbin.
This makes me glad that I never clicked with feedly...

@aral How does it compare to Inoreader?
@aral Feedly should post “The People Who Still Use RSS Hate This One Simple Idea” then walk back their totally tone deaf idea for using AI.
NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO USE AI. INNOVATE INSTEAD OF DUPLICATE.
@aral Been extremely happy #Feedbin user since #GoogleReader shut down.
@aral why this bothers you? I mean this is api for data analysis that's clearly not targeted to humans but companies
@bano Wow. I guess the more important question is “why doesn’t it bother you?”
Actually, don’t worry about answering. Asking that question is enough. Goodbye.
@aral Why not just have different clients that you can sync feeds across using a dedicated synchronization tool like Syncthing?
Please educate me, I don't use RSS feeds yet. (Serious)
@LinqLover @aral I personally don't want to use a service that is proprietary, for-profit, impossible to self-host, and markets to businesses (and I never did). Maybe some people are just upset that Feedly is marketing itself to businesses as a tool to track protests, but let's be real: in a free market, somebody else would have done it anyway.
@iagondiscord @aral I don't understand what's the problem with tracking protests.
@LinqLover @aral I guess the idea is that tracking protests could lead to greater police crackdown or greater retaliation? That, or it's just about "they don't like protests, so I don't like them" but that's not particularly nuanced, is it?
