Interesting discussion

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

In the comments for that last post we’ve been discussing the possibility of adding the comment link into the RSS feed item, so that you could click a link in your aggregator to leave a comment and skip the whole “Going to the site” thing.

Andrew first suggested it, and then he went and figured out how to do it in MT. Pretty impressive.

I played around with Blogger and while I could get an absolute link to the comments, I don’t think Blogger supports adding things inside the XML “item” tags. At least my efforts to move the comments link all wound up with it outside the tag and thus, not part of the feed.

    Via Eclectism this morning I see what may be the coolest use of Movable Type to date, at least in my opinion. The posting of circa 1985 Dead Milkmen Tour Stories! That’s defintely an addition to the news aggregator. While I missed them in Columbus in 1985 I did catch them at the Newport Music…

    Linked – Actually, the internet’s always been this bad

    The study authors pointed out that they only researched text-based platforms. Video platforms may be worse in terms of toxicity. However, that hasn’t been my experience; they seem pretty similar to me, but that’s just anecdotal. They also pointed out that current-day social networks are much larger. Many more people see the toxicity on Facebook than people who saw a Usenet post in the 90s. That also means there is more total toxicity. It might only be 7-10% of the content, but the content generated by 500 million users dwarfs the content generated by 10,000 users. So there’s more of it; we are more aware of it, but the percentage hasn’t changed much.

    “Good blogs aren’t focused on the vapid race for clicks that other forms of social media encourage. Instead, they patiently inform and challenge, using your time with respect. Here’s the thing: Google doesn’t want you to read blogs. They shut down their RSS reader and they’re dumping many blog subscriptions into the gmail promo folder,…
