    Out of curiosity, I have always thought text only web pages would have been way more accessible at the time were RSS was still a thing, then the blinking ad ridden pages you get nowadays.

    You tell me that wasn’t a thing?

        @this_is_router@feddit.de Yeah RSS is most definitely still a thing. OpenRSS.org is a movement that supports RSS feeds as a better replacement for visiting websites directly. Helps with avoiding crappy UIs when all you want is the text-based content from it.
