   A great way to follow RSS

   I was looking for something like this for quite some time. I've been using Fraidycat for about 2 months now. It's very simple and easy to use. I love the you can organize your feeds by simple "emoji" tags. Also, the idea of setting an importance/frequency level per feed is great.

   If only more websites had RSS feeds...

  Probably not. I'm pretty sure the post was buried. I can't find "Bad Therapy" on any page on https://news.ycombinator.com/news. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Is Google Getting Worse? A Longitudinal Investigation of SEO Spam in Search [pdf]

  Comically, when I google hackernews or even "Hacker News" I often get the other Hacker news first. Finding my preferred UI https://hckrnews.com/ that's not even in the first page of results. Rajat's version https://hckrnws.com/... Nowhere to be seen. Google is becoming a mediocre phone book. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• How are you preparing for disinformation campaigns?

  There’s also an aggregator app called fraidycat that pulls content from multiple sources and does so without logging in, so you get a breadth of information and non-personalized results. Source: about 1 year ago

• Twitodon: Finding Twitter Peers on Mastodon

  You may be interested in Fraidycat. Per the description: > Fraidycat is a desktop app or browser extension for Firefox or Chrome. I use it to follow people (hundreds) on whatever platform they choose - Twitter, a blog, YouTube, even on a public TiddlyWiki. This doesn't solve the problem of discoverability, but it solves half of what you described. https://fraidyc.at/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
