Did Slate kill its RSS feeds?

June 25, 2018 2:34 PM

I subscribe to Slate's "Dear Prudence" through an RSS feed, and I've noticed the last few weeks that I have not been getting new posts. I checked the website today and Dear Prudie has been moved to a new site (https://slate.com/human-interest/dear-prudence), with what looks like a site redesign. I can't find a new RSS feed to go with this new location though. Did Slate kill its RSS feeds in this redesign? Or can someone more skilled than I find them?

Best answer: I'm not sure about Slate's redesign in general, but try here for Dear Prudence - this RSS feed is working for me.

Response by poster: That looks like it works -- thanks!

Slate does have all their feeds listed at the bottom of this article.

If you are a Slate Plus subscriber there is a separate page that list those feeds.

If you haven't received a new post since the end of May and you or your reader is based in Europe, you might be getting GDPR-ed. I use Inoreader (which is based in Europe) and Washington Post RSS feeds have been unavailable since then because WaPo just decided to block access from Europe rather than comply with GDPR.

Looks like Slate's managed to do the same thing tumblr did - put an "I agree" checkbox in front of an RSS feed, as some kind of GDPR voodoo.

Idiots.
