Another strange habit of many contemporary IndieWeb bloggers: the urge to publish simply everything. A result of perhaps chanting "own your data!" a couple of times too much? For example, endless "likes" such as <a href="https://collect.readwriterespond.com/abridged-literature-classics/" rel="ugc">https://collect.readwriterespond.com/abridged-literature-classics/</a> or "checkins" such as <a href="https://diggingthedigital.com/untappd-de-moersleutel-smeerolie-mexicake/" rel="ugc">https://diggingthedigital.com/untappd-de-moersleutel-smeerolie-mexicake/</a> that, in my opinion, ultimately end up polluting my RSS reader instead of enriching it. <br><br>The consequence is me simply stopping from reading your site(s). Is liking or bookmarking without producing anything unique yourself really something that entices your readers to come back for more? I understand wanting to keep track of those, but are they really a part of your writings? That's not blogging anymore, not even micro-blogging. <br><br>Thoughts, <span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" data-user="A5EgbjM8FiEcsc32KO" href="https://m.tzyl.nl/@ton" rel="ugc">@<span>ton</span></a></span> ? A solution would be to have multiple RSS endpoints, such as you and I have, but these aren't always configured the way I, as a consumer, want them to be.
