What happened to this website?! Who took over from at least January and changed things? The RSS feed no longer has the full posting (since around the first week of January?) and then the RSS feed itself became no longer a valid feed (seemingly since maybe around the end of May?): https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fanarchistnews…

Can someone fix this? Does no one else use RSS? Is this not an issue for others? Please have the full post come through the RSS feed. Thank you!

Hi Anonymous,

I too feel your concern and frustration with the RSS problem. I am a frequent RSS feed reader as my main source of reading the MSM and anarchist news / websites. As you have mentioned it's been ongoing problem that a solution to is still being figured out.

Here is some of the problem - ANews was getting hammered by a ton of AI traffic and other robot / automated traffic that was bringing the website down (imagine DDoS). ANews started using Anubis to address the AI robot problem and other traffic and the website has been really stable without all the junk traffic. Due to the way Anubis works, it can create problems for RSS - although there is a solution to this documented on the web - there is another part of the problem related to more technical stuff. Overall, this is why the issue hasn't been fixed yet, but I can promise you it is not forgotten and there is an active open ticket about it. You will be the first to know about a fix.

Appreciate the poke about this.
