I don't know abou that. I don't want to manage visiting dozens of websites.
Technically it is also possible to make interactionless feeds with no live and share bottons
How's visiting dozens of pages different from visiting dozens of websites?
And BTW, on sites where feeds are in fashion, maybe some kind of Usenet upgraded for HTML and Markdown and post\author hyperlinks would be more in place.
Visiting feeds is like using tools from one organized toolbox. Visiting many websites is like jumping between many separate toolboxes
No. You have a toolbox, it's called a web browser. To unite the particular websites you have a web ring, or your own bookmarks. There were also web catalogues.
Bookmark at not intuitive enough to me and RSS feeds are still feeds that have no interaction features like the writer of this article like.
I am always for giving the most power to users. I like compromises like user settings so people who want a feed with interactions can and who doesn't can disable it
But why do we need interactive crap for everything. Comments and etc for articles are the worst. Not everybody needs to hear you, sometimes you’ve just gotta take in information and process it.
Like I literally Maintain my own fleet of apps that give me just the article body images, in a sorted feed. No ads. No links. Nothing. Even the links to other articles, etc in the middle of an article is too much. I hate that shit. Modern web page design is garbage and unreadable.
I don’t need to know stacy from North Dakota’s thoughts on an article because 99% of the time it’s toxic anyways. Or misinformed.
Interactiviry seems to be a good thing. What brings you to participate here on Lemmy?
Reading content. I'm more of a lurker compared to most users.
Because it's a "newspaper meets slot machine" design. Kills two birds with one stone, hijacking media (censorship is invisible) and making money (invisible too).
And also because not every place is supposed to be crawling with people.
