I have an RSS feed on my blog at https://sneak.berlin, a mailing list at https://sneak.berlin/list, and a BBS at https://bbs.sneak.berlin.
Happy new year, tildes!

Wow cool, I was just reading your blog a few weeks ago from a google search (I think, I can't remember).
What are the chances we are both here on ~!
I wish I could remember what post I was reading because I enjoyed it and agreed with it.
Hey Brendan,
This is an interesting question, what brought you to become interested in wanting to hear other people?
Although I must say in these times, it's hard to find real people.
I have a blog over at https://blog.aidxn.fun I also write a lot (more creatively, though most of it is sad) on my Tilde page.

To answer your question, Aidan, I’ve been thinking recently about how podcasts are a singular medium in the way they engender parasocial relationships—which is a strained way to say “I keep feeling like the strangers I listen to in the car are my best friends.” Thinking too about how they are a branch of the web that is highly portable and resistant to algorithmic platform interference, as long as you didn’t get locked in by Spotify, in a way that newsletters clearly want to be… as long as you aren’t locked in by Substack.
I like my physical neighborhood and I wish my digital sense of place was more like it. So I'm drawn to the idea of having a connection to the people whose work I follow, however tenuous—like a shared server mailing list—rather than attaching my emotions to complete unknowns. Subscribing to your blog and to sneak’s now!

Glad you've decided to check out our blogs!
I must agree that I favor connections which feel real to me, where I am able to have an actual conversation with an individual. I feel like a lot of the web has become soul-less SEO-littered content and it's almost like there is no way back from that.
However, discovering new places on the web to read the voices of real people is liberating and exciting.
I have also been getting engaged in long-form content, although I have been attracted to listening to the audio of YouTube documenaties and videos. I have found a lot of avenues for education on my passions through this medium, which suprised me at first.
The connection between the listener and the author is extremely interesting. I have noticed I create a connection in my head with the creator of choice when I listen to someone talking. When I turn off this video and choose something different such as music, the mood drains. It's almost like you have cut off someone from their conversation.
I have always wondered why my mind will act like this, although I think it does have a slight reflection of society and potential goals of media outlets. I can't determine if this connection I speak of is a positive or negative for society.

That involves a part of me that's outside of the circle of this identity, unfortunately.
When people asked on IRC here (both in Newnet.net and Tilde.chat) if I had a blog or something alike; I would toss my art blog URL [1] at that question. [2] But if you're looking for writings (or speakings) specifically... well, I just said I can't share mine; so, just keep seeking.
Good luck, ~xwindows
[1] https://tilde.club/~xwindows/ gopher://tilde.club/1/~xwindows/
[2] And of course, some of those folks then went "No, no, no, I rather meant things you wrote!"; which of course, I would answer the about same thing as I just answered you: it's on my real-life site, I can't share.
I have 5 RSS and Atom feeds, mostly to cover all of the RSS standards (Netscape 0.91, 0.91, 1.0, 2.0) and Atom, while I do plan on bringing up a mailing list service every now and then. I do manage a lot of things so I couldn't remember if I even hosted content aside from that, Gemini, Gopher and traditional social media.
I am interested though in bringing my posts to the Usenet and other obscure protocols for the fun of it.
Actually an idea popped up in my head for a news aggregation service where people could share, view and comment news feeds (as in RSS, usenet, etc) in a decentralized manner, but still have the ability of searching for feeds, to get to know what's happening in the world without much algorithms (it's purely sorting algorithms). So basically you can share your list to the public to see what are you reading daily, comment on RSS entries and read the news as usual.
Do you people know some usenet groups outside tilde.club? Because I am adding new entries on my project, The Blue Pages in addition to other personal stuff (like working in a campus newspaper) before pulling off my big personal project of overhauling my site. And oh some finger clients and servers. And geminispaces/gopherholes.

In relation to this topic you may be interested in https://gwene.org/ (any public rss or atom feed as an nntp group).

I myself don’t even have a blog, although I’d like to, if you all have any recommendations for something that’s easy to use, and has a very “basic” feel to it, that would be perfect. Thanks all
James.

I have a niche newsletter with a read-aloud podcast, intended for people interested in the MEGA65 personal computer. https://dansanderson.com/mega65/
The MEGA65 is a modern recreation of the Commodore 65, an unreleased successor to the Commodore 64 that was in development in the late 1980's. The MEGA65 is a new home computer you can buy today, implemented entirely in upgradable FPGA firmware and software, with an authentic injection molded case, mechanical keyboard, and built-in 3-1/2" floppy drive. https://mega65.org/
I've been publishing the newsletter monthly for over two years, with community news, promotion of other people projects, and a monthly feature article on programming topics, beginner to advanced, BASIC and machine language. I'm also on the team, and maintain the KERNAL and documentation.
I'm currently hosted on Substack but I'm looking to migrate to Buttondown this month. I need to figure out how to host the podcast part. Maybe my personal website works fine, I just need to test the feed and update the directories. Search for "Dan's MEGA65 Digest" wherever you get your podcasts. :)
