Re: "Feeds are a dark pattern"
Didn't Google define a protocol for feed updates that changed it from pull to push that never caught on? I think that was called Pubsubhubbub

@alexlehm Possibly Google did that. There’s a lot of protocol activity around post aggregation. But it seems like there’s not a lot of innovation around a useful view. Apologies for the web link, but I had some thoughts on feed views.

Feeds are a dark pattern — I definitely agree that the structure of feeds doesn’t scale past ‘tiny’ very well. A new view on posts might be enough to get me off my butt to actually contribute some code the gemini universe. gemini://tilde.town/~dzwdz/b/feeds.gmi
