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!
How I escaped Twitter

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.

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RSS is not old, outdated tech.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!
Hi Jonny—I couldn’t agree more.
I was subscribed to Twitter+ in order to improve my reach as I sold ZWIBook drives. I was frankly shocked at how poor my reach was, even after subscribing, compared to 2019-20. Basically 1/10th of what it used to be, and that’s *with* the subscription. Then they went and raised the price by $6 per month. That’s just insulting. Forget it. I’d rather work more on my own dang sites and build up a more solid reach, that can’t be stolen from me.
His loss. I don’t care. A lot of people, like him, make the mistake of projecting their limited habits on all the world.
No more blue check on X.com. Yay!
Hopefully the reimbursement comes next.
The KSF is still accepting orders for ZWIBook. Due to steady demand, we are about to run out again, but we will make new drives as and when necessary.
Order at: shop.encyclosphere.org
And thanks to all who have supported the KSF since these nifty drives were first offered for sale last August. We have sold well over 600 drives by now. The next ordered signed and numbered drive will be #269.

Hi LaKeishia! To respond to this—
First, look up what the New Agers mean by “Christ consciousness.” Did Christ himself believe in such a thing? Or did he believe he was the one and only Son of God, and one with God? We cannot be little Jesuses. The Bible supports no such notion. If it doesn’t, but you believe in Jesus on the basis of the Bible, why do you believe this new (100 year old) concept?
Second, we are called not to seek “Christ consciousness,” but to repent of our sins, to love God and our fellow man with all our heart, and to seek righteousness. If we do, the Holy Spirit lives in us. But this is not Christ consciousness; it is the Spirit that proceeds from God and, as Western theologians say, Jesus.
Third, the notion that the Spirit is present in the Communion, or in and among us as we take it, is one of the main Protestant alternatives.

Holidays Szn!!
Listen, Elon Musk, I am very sure you don’t care, but if you actually happened to want me to post my content to X.com, then you are going to have to unthrottle my account. If you want to confirm me in my stance, do nothing. 🤷♂️
