How can we reverse the trend that a wonderful piece of tech such as RSS is obliterated without any regard to implications? If you have been using RSS readers you'll have noticed that over time even quality sites (not ironic) slowly remove their RSS feeds and leave only the usual social media links.

This means that they are providing their audience with no option but to have a social media account (where their interests can be tracked and cross-referenced, data mined etc), not to mention that they endorse and promote particular for-profit private companies (which is in general not done lightly, unless there is a partnership or other disclosed interest)

New open source tools like this engine, especially if they integrate more with this other wonderful piece of tech, the email client could create a more healthy information retrieval environment. The time to think anew about how to evolve a positive digital life is now and the pieces of the puzzle are all around us.

FOSS front ends like Nitter provide a RSS feed for Twitter feeds. Invidious for YouTube and Teddit for Reddit also work, though the original sites in this case still provide their own RSS feeds.
