I implemented this (not live): 67b61b5
I don't know whether we should do this. It will prevent writers from receiving traffic and ad revenue, it has some murky copyright concerns, and Diffbot doesn't seem to honor robots.txt or meta tags restricting archiving.
I've been reading some articles on lawsuits against Google and Internet Archive for their caching. Everything I've seen said they're in the clear legally for their caching, though.

I was thinking of a truncated solution. I don't necessarily want to read the whole article from RSS, but a small preview of the text as well as the title (because titles are input by the user, and can be misleading...) would be very useful in an RSS reader, especially on mobile devices.

I am deciding not to implement this due to the issues raised on the lobsters thread.

It would be cool if there were fallbacks in place, such as comments on the story. It would also be kinda nice if the RSS feed contained text representations of each article, allowing the RSS feed to actually be a preview of the content, rather than just the links and their titles.
