Reclaim Your Algorithm
This blog post has been a long time coming, so hydrate and get comfy, because we're diving into custom feeds today. Custom feeds give users the power to take back their algorithm and regain control over their social media experience. In this post, you'll learn what feeds are, how to create and use them, and why they're essential to getting the most out of Bluesky. Custom feeds are algorithms curated by community members and presented to users through the AT Protocol. By default, when you join Bl...
Game Publishers Move to Avoid GTA 6 (Rob Fahey)
Games Industry.biz (GIb) is a news website which covers the video game industry (surprise!). I have had GIb in my feed collection for a couple of years, and it has informed two NLJ articles in Provocative Out-Of-Context Headlines (GiB was responsible for the "context" rather than the headline) and AI Game Worlds and Humane Games....
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 06-04-26
I missed two days of Pook-Emu Bee links. But it is not all bad: Now we have even more links from around the web to choose from. 1. Why I Built Bubbles (Ben at Bubbles Blog. March 26, 2026.) I've been an RSS obsessive for years. Hundreds of feeds, hand-picked one by one. But RSS...
When Blocks Become Walls: How Personal Moderation Became Platform Governance
On April 22, 2026, Bluesky's Technical Director subscribed to a blocklist. Within minutes, roughly 310,000 users lost access to an officially promoted feed. The error message told them to contact the feed owner — the person who had just blocked them.
Taking A Mile
The risk of the open internet is that someone will exploit your well-intentioned openness thoughtlessly. That’s how the internet slowly stops being open.
IndieFollow
Letzte Woche war WordCamp Europe. Mit weit über 8000 Teilnehmern war es das bisher größte online WordCamp! Bei der Größe ist es klar, dass man auch eine ganze Menge neuer und interessanter Leute trifft. Also schnell auf Twitter und allen folgen! Ich war auf dem größten online Event, von dem wohl am meisten verbreiteten Indie/OpenSource...
Titellos
Vor ein paar Wochen hab ich über das titellose (Micro)Bloggen lamentiert und wie grausam es in meinem Feedreeder aussieht... ...dabei nutze ich wahrscheinlich einfach nur das falsche Tool? NetNewsWire stellt Texte ohne Titel echt schön dar und ich könnte mir auch gut vorstellen den Reeder zu ersetzen... ABER leider bietet NNW noch keine Möglichkeit über...
The Progressive (Profitable) Web
Ryan Holiday laments the loss of Google Reader and RSS in general in Our Regressive Web, arguing that if someone came up with them today, we'd think they were brilliant ideas: We’re just regressing. [...] RSS is impervious to blogging’s worst, but most profitable traits. [...] No wonder nobody ever pushed for widespread adoption. Of course it died a slow death—along with Google Alerts and Delicious. Their mission is antithetical to the ethos of our new media age. Where noise, chatter and pushi
PubCasts: subscribe to publications through RSS
This is inspired by the iBooks launch, but it’s applicable to any ereader that uses the ePub format. (Or, indeed, it could use any ebook format – MobiPocket, Kindle, DAISY, etc.) A podcast is just an RSS feed with a file enclosure – part of the RSS standard – that points to an MP3 file. Similarly, video podcasts point to video files. An obvious evolution, then, is the pubcast: periodical publications delivered through RSS feeds. Free publication subscriptions In the free case, a user would si
