Superfluous titles in RSS feeds

[LukeMoll]

It is unconventional for RSS articles to give the site's title in the article title, as there is a separate field to indicate that (here "HackSoc News").

Since the suffix is fixed and known, a heuristic approach could be to call removesuffix("- HackSoc - The Computer Science Society") when templating into the RSS feed.

In fact, the suffix is never appended to the title variable, so it is unexpected that it should show up in the feed. Additionally, it is not every article, as the article about libera.chat is unaffected.

It is entirely possible this issue is caused by unexpected behaviour on the feed reader, further investigation is warranted.

This seems to be caused wholly by the feed reader (in this case Chrome) as these issues are not present in the raw feed. This is possibly not fixable or out-of-scope for this repository.

I can confirm I have no such issue in my RSS reader - which makes sense as that's the one I was testing with when developing the feed - so it does seem to be specific to your reader.

I realise this is a "not on my machine" style comment so sorry about that 😅

I should add some reproduction notes - this was using the Chrome RSS reader, gated behind feature flags at the time.
