Re: Rate Limits, see https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/05/27/feed/ but coming from an aggressively anticommercial world view. She collects evidence that real world feed readers don't implement RSS correctly https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2026/02/23/readers/ Her problems are the problems of a polling-based protocol and really if she does not like the RSS protocol she should stop publishing it and stand up an ActivityPub or PubSubHubBub service instead. A big part of the value of Google Reader and the ecosystem around it was that Google could poll your RSS feed once and everyone could read it... A huge win for the Rachels! | ||

Bit odd to take potshots at a third party blog on this discussion, why single out Rachel? And more to the point, the dynamics here might be due to RSS being polling-based, but if feed readers implemented the RSS logic correctly it wouldn't matter nearly as much, would it? | ||
