Unexpected behaviour on client or server side

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 callremovesuffix("- 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.
