Putting some time into some basic site restructuring. We've decided to drop support for RSS feeds. It seems like they were only being used by content scrapers anyway.
Hopefully this doesn't bum anyone out too much.

:(
Will you be providing a better way for subscription notifications then sending an email for every single new post (that doesn't even contain the message contents)?
(or does the daily option work now?)

I didn't know the daily option didn't work.
It's easy to include the message content. The reason we don't is because so many messages include porn-related words and content which tends to get filtered out automatically. Some mail providers won't even deliver these kinds of messages to your spam folder. At least that was the case years ago, it might be different now.

What program did you use as an RSS reader? I wouldn't mind making feed content available to "real" users, i.e some kind of authentication mechanism. But last I checked there's no support for authenticated RSS requests. It would be nice to keep the content scrapers away but let real people access the feeds they want.

Looking at my subscribed threads there was a post the other day to the Mia Malkova thread, but I never received a notification (it's on daily).
Maybe you could add an option to the subscriptions panel to insert the message content? That way people with nonrestrictive mail filters could get the contents, while still allowing others to just get the link.
I was reading the feeds through Inoreader.
