@prologic Nah! I don't do news feeds 🤣 I gave some a try back then but it was just way too much noise. I have a separate app for RSS feeds I want to follow. None of them mention AI except for one article about the author's fight back against the crawlers, I believe I've mentioned it before.

@aelaraji Ahh that's interesting! 🧐 One of my original goals when I started out building Yarn.social was to also be a source of news, blogs, and whatever else that could be roughly/easily translated into a Twtxt feed. I'm not sure if others do something similar, but that's why I built feeds.twtxt.net, which consumes RSS/Atom and produces Twtxt feeds.

My only desire one day is to build a "Feed Builder" of sorts that allows one to say, for example, construct a Slashdot feed but without AI hype, or as another example, a BBC/ABC feed that's a digest once or twice per day.

It's useful to know however that such feeds are _actually_ marked as type=rss (e.g: https://feeds.twtxt.net/slashdot/twtxt.txt), just as feeds like @tiktok are marked as type=bot

These then become useful in filters like what you see here:
