I still think there is a place for a self-hosted open source FriendFeed, with #activitypub and #webmentions on top, there is still room for a decentralized social feed reader that can mix all kinds of feed sources.

Tragic story, I’m still hurt, not because I didn’t find my own ways to build my feed reader (and have been using consistently ever since) but this story encapsulate the blindness of big tech better than anything else.
And 2 decades later, guess how I’m consuming the most out of Reddit and now Kbin/Lemmy and the fediverse? An RSS feed reader, that’s right!
Add to it a dash of webmentions and social reactions, without owning the social graph and you have probably the direction at which the open web is heading to, right now.
And this time, neither, Google, Facebook or Reddit or Twitter will be part of it, because they are blind but above all because people want something else.
And they want to define and own it.
Who killed Google Reader? Ten years after its untimely death, the team that built the much-beloved feed reader reflects on what went wrong and what could have been.

What if HackerNews got into the ActivityPub bandwagon ?
Thinking about Hacker News but sprinkled with #activitypub imagine being able to reply and participate in any #HN post from the #fediverse and with #webmentions have fediverse comments mingled with native HN activity. Nodebb Discourse + Lemmy #kbin and we shift the balance back in the open web. read more

There are still 30% of the 8k #reddit subs that pledged to go dark ongoing #RedditBlackout
This might be the base that won’t move no matter what reddit does.
And apparently, Reddit is willing to die for lies and “becoming an adult”
