Introducing the new Godot Forum
Nice! I kinda wish they went with https://flarum.org/ instead of discourse, though. I think Flarum is the better forum software and it is also open source.
- Best way to host a small forum?

Simple WYSIWYG html editor? Open source or cheap.
I've been playing around with a new open source forum called Flarum for my blog. It's a forum by nature but it has a blog extension and with some work you can get it to be just a blog that looks pretty nice. I just recently finished getting mine moved over (I rarely blog but here it is) - I'm not too sold on it yet either though so there's that.
- Twitter now requires an account to view tweets

PhpBB
The old PhpBB/VBulletin format has a certain familiar charm to it, but I find it hard to go back after using modern forum systems like Discourse that fix a lot of the old system's UX shortcomings.
Anyone have experience with Flarum (https://flarum.org)? I've been peripherally aware of it for years (it it looks like it's still quite active on GitHub) and it looks like a nice lighter-weight alternative to Discourse which I know gets some flak for being resource-heavy.

Just remember forums exist
Flarum (full disclosure, I have previously done some development on this one)

RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information
It sounds interesting but I use https://hnrss.github.io/
Unless it had most of the features of hnrss.org I would not be able to use it.
Perhaps you could pivot your approach and submit a PR to hnrss for the feature?

JSON Feed: An Atom/RSS feed alternative
hnrss.org (https://hnrss.github.io/) provides a JSON feed version for every feed, just append .jsonfeed to any endpoint.
known (https://withknown.com/) also provides JSON feeds
micro.blog (https://micro.blog/) does as well
wordpress also has plugins available that generate JSON feeds

Ask HN: How do you stay on top of advances in AI?
I try to direct as much news to RSS as possible, where I can group feeds by topic, and not get distracted by a constant compulsion to refresh the page (which I feel strongly on HN and Twitter). Some tools I use:
* https://www.freshrss.org/ for subscribing to feeds
* https://netnewswire.com/ for reading them
* https://hnrss.github.io/ to get Hacker News into RSS
* https://mailgrip.io/ (project I'm building) to get email newsletters into RSS

News Minimalist Only significant news. All signal, no noise
You can sub to HN and put a score threshold: https://hnrss.github.io/#firehose-feeds
I would definitely sub to your News Minimalist if the same is possiblke.

Help make mass surveillance of entire populations uneconomical
I like to use Thunderbird not just for e-mails, but also for RSS. When using the global inbox, you can have emails and RSS in the same list without noticing the difference.
I don't have many RSS sources (11) and some have news just every other month. That way I don't have to open a separate program and when something comes up, I see it right when I read my emails.
Did you know that you can use RSS to get notified when someone writes a reply to your HN comment? I love it: https://hnrss.github.io/#reply-feeds

Ask HN: Following’ Other HN Users?
There's this page which offers a "Users" posts and comments RSS feed.
Is that the kind of thing?

Those making $500/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell
I did a Show HN 4 months ago[1].
The reason I started KTool was to spend less time on computer screens, and more on e-ink Kindle. I was afraid of going blind.
After 4 months improving KTool, it now becomes a tool to help you combat doom-scrolling. Instead of mindlessly scrolling the web, I deliberately send interesting articles to my Kindle.
Recently, I added newsletter & RSS support, it's 100% automated now.
My favorite source of content is Hacker News RSS[2], Stratechery[3], Indie Hacker Newsletters[4] and a few other Substack newsletters.
I can enjoy reading HN latest stories or my fav authors' latest pieces on my Kindle without spending hours browsing on my computer.
I just reached $620 MRR today (Jan 23)
