One protocol that is has been suborned by private platforms is RSS. It is extremely useful for building an acceptable personalized reading list & (I see now) has great support here at TechDirt.
But I read this article at the Knight Foundation's site. I thought it was great & read a bunch of other articles the site & was interested in seeing new articles, so I subscribed in my news reader: "Error: no RSS feed". That's odd, I though I saw the RSS icon in the footer. Yes it is there, but there's no auto-discovery on the page. So I'll just use the RSS link in the footer. Empty! https://knightcolumbia.org/rss
Sigh. This is why open protocols have a hard time.
