I unsubscribed from all Substack newsletters a while back, including their RSS feeds.

I still miss a few of them, but there are SO MANY other good newsletters/blogs to enjoy that don't ask you to rub elbows with Nazis, and we should spotlight our favorites instead.

My #blogroll has 10 of my current must-reads I recommend to everyone.

@hertg @shellsharks I literally had this toot bookmarked so I could come here and blather on about the #Indieweb, I just had to finish lunch first. But glad hertg beat me to it!

I think webrings are set to make a huge comeback, and they certainly have many federated/social qualities. Webrings are one component of the larger Indieweb, which has many other mechanisms for socializing and discovery!

For example, take a look at this writeup - "RSS blogrolls are a federated social network" (https://alexsci.com/blog/blogroll-network/). It talks about how a #blogroll can extend a regular #rss feed, adding federated "discovery" capabilities to an indieweb site. It's a cool idea! And vibes very much with what you're talking about here. I'm actually working on fixing up my own blogroll in the spirit of what this article talks about.

So yeah, build a site, be part of a web ring, make yourself a blogroll, link to other peoples sites.

Also @mttaggart , if you're spinning up a webring, I'm in.

Turns out there's still an active hobby / mini-painting / tabletop wargames scene out there in the blogging world. Many of them have just been plugging away for over a decade.

Since search these days is so enshittified, and nearly useless for finding anything that doesn't have an ad budget behind it, I've decided to start trying to pull together a list - which I've shared here.

Got around to adding a proper, old-school blogroll onto my site. Hadn't realised that WordPress had the functionality to do it and fetch the latest posts via RSS built-in. Wasted so much time looking for a decent plugin to do this.

Les comparto un excelente Blogroll del blog de Guillermo Latorre. Llegué a su sitio por el excelente artículo de Adrian Perales "Navegante inquieto" (adrianperales.com/2024/12/nave) en el que comparte links a blogs super interesantes.
En fin, aquí está el Blogroll con links a blogs en español y también en ingles (el autor pone a disposición el OPML para usarlo en nuestro lector de RSS, un genio).

It's been too many years since I had a blogroll on my site, but I think it's an important addition for anyone serious about wanting blogs to make a comeback.

These 9 are my current favorites that are still relatively active (a few masquerading as newsletters), and I highly recommend them all for the reasons noted.
