Your reader, your couch, your rules.
Starting today, both my-notes.dragas.net and it-notes.dragas.net are changing the way they distribute content - on RSS and on the Fediverse alike.
No more excerpts. No more "read more" links. Full posts, delivered directly to you, wherever you choose to read them.
Here's why:
I don't run ads. I don't have paywalls. I don't sell attention, or measure success in page views. I never have, and I have no intention of starting. My blogs exist because I enjoy writing, and because
some of what I write might be useful - or simply enjoyable - to someone else.
That's the whole business model. There isn't one.When that's the case, there's no reason to keep content behind a click.
Sending you a teaser and asking you to visit my site would only make sense if I needed you *on my site* - for an impression, for a conversion, for something. I don't. So why would I make you leave your reader, your client, your comfortable corner of the internet, just to come to mine?What I want instead is simple: that you can read what I write the way you'd read a book on a cold winter evening, wrapped in a warm blanket. Privately.
Quietly. On your own terms, in your own space, without anything tracking your eyes or nudging you toward something else.Your RSS reader is yours. Your Fediverse instance is yours. The content should be yours too.
If you're on the Fediverse, you can follow both accounts directly:
- my-notes → @mynotes
- it-notes → @itnotes
These are low-traffic accounts. If you don't want them to get lost in your timeline, feel free to hit the notification bell. I promise it won't make much noise.
So from now on, it will be.

@mms no, I've modified the rss2text script to include the entire content - in html or markdown format, good for snac: https://brew.bsd.cafe/stefano/rss2text

@stefano followed, thanks!
Just one problem, and it's not you: I can never remember how to get Mastodon to show me who I follow (I imagine that I should prune something …).
Oops.

@grahamperrin I'm using lists - or "the bell" - to try to keep up with the timeline.

@elettrona @fediverso @mynotes @itnotes Interesting. I haven't considered this as I'm mainly writing (at least for now) separate contents (that can live inside a single post).
I'll try to think about it. -
