I've recently rediscovered RSS and I'm in love with it. I just wish Meta wasn't a piece of fuck and let you add Facebook pages and Instagram accounts. there are some workarounds for the latter, but they're really finicky.

member when all the big cool web 2.0 companies had public facing APIs?

That was just for the growth and acquisition phase, using the network effect to capture consumers and businesses, get them addicted and dependent on the product, and then build a wall around them to lock them into your platform.

It's a classic bait and switch, and if we didn't live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as "democracy" it'd be illegal.

Yep, remember when XMPP was a thing so you could chat with anyone no matter the platform?
