Modern AI platforms often scrape content without consent and provide summaries that bury or omit credits to the original site. This "extortive slop mall" model effectively erases the writer's authority.
Murmel serves as an "antidote" by providing a high-signal filter that preserves the integrity of the original work and restores the direct connection between the creator and the audience.

The funniest thing we’ve recently heard about the new Murmel - it won’t pass Google’s “Toothbrush test,” because you only get to use it once a day. People read their morning daily digest, and forget about social media until the following day. 🙈
What do we do? Do we add more engagement hooks, so that people come back more often, or stay true to our core values?

📢 Last Friday, we launched a completely revamped version of Murmel - a v2.0 of sorts. It is a complete rewrite, and not just a an incremental update. We took this path, because we learned a lot of valuable lessons on the way, and the hardest one was that v1.0 would not scale teh way we wanted it.
Thus, v2.0. The bigest upgarde is that you now Mastodon AND Bluesky support, and up to 3 feed feeds to include in your digest.
Give it a try: https://murmel.social

A few of you have been asking to see how one of our email digests looks like. We thought, why don't we just show it to you right away, without the need to sign up. So, we took our Top Stories page, and turned it into a live digest preview.
What you see is what you will get once you sign up. Plus, it will be a 100x better, because it will be based on your own network.

We did something, which, in retrospect, we should have done a long time ago. We de-hyped our copy of vague AI references, and instead, focused on what we actually do.
✅ Do we check links to see if they are read-worthy? Yes, we do - and we mark them as such to you. The tech we use is the same used in spam filters and has existed for decades.
❌ Do we use LLMs to generate engaging on-demand slop and trick you into scrolling forever. No, never! That's not why we're in this business.
