BitChute is one website I am proud to be associated with. More on this soon.

By the way you might notice I’ve been saying “X.com” rather than “X”. This is the right move, I think, because “X” is quite simply much too generic to be a brand name. It’s a variable name, it’s a dirty movie rating, it’s associated with various movies and movie franchises, etc. It’s almost as if, by using the letter by itself as a brand, we are being manipulated to acknowledge the coolness of it, due to the several associations of “X”. It’s affected, gimmicky, and contrived. Not to mention the vanity of Elon’s personal associations with this, and also not to mention the occult connections.

Given all that, I think self-consciously preferring “X.com” is the right response.

I also think “X.com” is preferable to “Twitter” because we need a distinctive name for the bad old website as it was before Elon.

To be quite honest, I’m not feeling a strong pull to get back into X.com. I do not feel moved to make profound comments about terrorism, or the impending end of the world, or whatever other distractions we are being fed. I’ve been working on my book. You people better appreciate all the work I’ve put into this, that’s all I’m saying! 😁

I did finally receive that refund of the $84, however. So, there’s that.

It would be super-cool to add some sort of AI chatbot to SangerFeed. The development project would be a bit of a heavy lift, since I don’t actually know PHP, but it’s still a cool idea.

Why am I posting “Whiskey in a Jar” on socials?

Yeah, Minifeed does have a few bugs, such as breaking threads (when somebody replies, instead of being a reply, it’s made a top-level post). I blame Dan! 😆

RSS is probably the most underrated tech around. Since leaving basically all social media platforms a little over five years ago, NetNewsWire has been my go-to app for aggregating the sites I want to follow. Yes, 2005 is back with a vengeance!

Okay, thanks for the insight. Will add this site to list when posting new content. Also like to offer my gratitude for wikipedia. Appreciate your thoughts of what it has become. Do believe there is a thirst for neutrality and fact verification that can stem from grassroots organizations.
Again, thanks for your time and Happy 2025.

Here is my site. Appreciate your comments and tools to build audience.

Thoughts on pathway forward for the News… justcaws.ca/2023/11/in-… @lsanger@sangerfeed.org

Why don’t social media companies make their posts more widely available using the standard data format RSS—as Minifeed, the software that runs this WordPress install, and as BitChute do?

I’ll tell you why: it’s because RSS makes data easier to share and build on, and sites like X and Facebook claim ownership over your data and want you confined to their walled gardens.

RSS is not old, outdated tech. It was suppressed because Big Tech preferred closed, walled gardens. When Jack Dorsey and crew started Twitter, it was available to build on using RSS. It was an open network. Then they deliberately closed it. Hmm… 🤔

Happy New Year anyway, y’all!

Happy New Year, all!
