I’m only finding references to tiny tiny rss for this. Is there a connection I am not seeing?
Oh shit… yeah thanks folks! I totally mistaken fresh for ttrss…
Deleted my comment for my own stupid sake ><
No I think the OP is confused. tt-rss forums was a largely horrible community which prided itself on being edgy and toxic. FreshRSS never had anything to do with them, except for also being an rss reader. It is (or at least was? Not sure nowadays) instead loosely connected to the framasoft people, who are cool and doing nice things for the open source community, and not at all toxic.
Thanks for confirmation! I hate that I have to keep lists of toxic projects to avoid, but if I’m going to host things on principle sometimes, it’s better to be informed about the principles of the project too.
