I’m making use of a self-hosted Nextcloud instance for this purpose actually. While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it just for the purposes of RSS, it’s a nice addition to the platform for someone who happens to be running an instance for other reasons already. Most of the web-based RSS reader solutions I’ve come across relied on advertising or other premium membership models to support the service, so an alternative would have to be pretty damn compelling for me to transition away from Nextcloud and start subjecting myself to ads again.

This is actually really clever, I might have to steal this idea.

Yeah, firing spez and the leadership team that pushed this forward is the bare minimum for showing contrition here. I’m not against a paid API that has prices based in reality instead of whatever the hell they gave us, but fundamental changes to an API like this require a minimum 12 months lead time before the change goes active.

The 30 days they gave shows an intentional disregard for the business continuity and contractual obligations of the developers who utilize the API.
