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.

Dear anonymous - Anubis has been turned off for now and the RSS is once again functional.

Thanks! Let's please keep this site Javascript-free. There's plenty other bot blockers out there that don't require JS if you really need that feature.

Hi,

So, Anubis is turned back on as the robots kept hammering on our door, however the RSS should be working now (tested on this end). Also the JS is disabled too.

Stupid Anubis bullshit broke my RSS feed again. Btw it is trivial to work around it for scraping, you are just punishing regular users. IOW the false positive rate is extremely high.

Any article I open in my feed reader says:

Protected by Anubis From Techaro. Made with ❤️ in 🇨🇦.
Mascot design by CELPHASE.
This website is running Anubis version devel.

It works fine if I don't fetch the full article, but then the reader is equally useless since there is nothing there but the metadata.

Not only is Anubis stupid for the reasons mentioned before, it's also unethical. It's essentially cryptominer malware. It harms the environment, the user, and the web, all to no real benefit.
