  I’m always a little torn on projects like this.

  On the one hand, I know a few people who have hosted tt-rss and the software worked very well for them and their needs.

  On the other hand, software whose maintainers have fascist tendencies, or are at best super edge-lords, and which maintains a culture in the developers and community that’s just super toxic is not something I ever wish to support or be associated with.

  I have similar feelings on the hyperland project, or suckless software. What i have personally settled on is to not touch the software myself, and give a slight disclaimer when recommending it to others.

  I suppose unmaintained can be added to the disclaimer for this one now. At least we have a plethora of very nice alternatives in the rss space with projects like freshrss, miniflux, and nextcloud news.

    You are literally on Lemmy. The project owner’s views are well-known.

      They’re the exact opposite of a fascist…

      Sure, no argument with that - although I am happy piefed is rising as an alternative.

      I did not intend to claim moral superiority or any absolutes, which is, again, why I just tend to also provide a small disclaimer while recommending that kind of software.

      It’s more about giving a small preface to people I care about should they ever end up intending to contribute to certain projects. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable stance to take. But if you think it is and weren’t just doing a social media zinger let me know.

    The hyprland issues I’m aware of, but what’s the issue with suckless?

      It’s a little older, so I don’t have an extensive recollection. Things I have saved are the Poettering tweet pointing out their hostname being ‘Wolfsschanze’, doing their own torch march just after Unite the Right Charlottesville happened, and the expected anti-sjw, cultural marxism rhetoric to go along with it.

      It’s a case of no one individual instance being drastic (well, perhaps except for Wolfschanze), but coming together to form a picture which I firmly file into icky-politics.

      I vaguely remember something about some torchlit march (in Bavaria?) and people accusing suckless devs of being Nazis. Also their entire concept is just kind of elitist.

    I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I’d need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.

      The best use case for RSS for me is getting updates from journals and github releases. Also subscribing to youtube channels feeds is convenient since i dont have to visit their website regularly and can just watch the channels that im interested in.

  I migrated two years ago from tt-rss to freshrss and have never looked back. It just works!

    +1 for FreshRSS, I’ve only been using it for about six months but I’m constantly tweaking my config just because I like to play around with it.
