So there is no way to disable rss and atom. Thanks for the hint.
A dirty hack: In Admin > Preferences > Feeds, set “How many articles should be included in feeds?“ to zero (0). If some person tries to access the feed, the feed will contain nothing. Some feed readers might complain with a “no articles in feed” type of message.
You could also use htaccess to issue a “permanently gone” or “404” status for /rss and /atom.

This could actually be another candidate for totally disabling (also link area) feeds. I don’t see a point of outputting an empty feed.

Yes. Above I was looking at ways – in 4.8.8 – to neutralise feeds.
BTW, in your current implementation on dev, this: domain.tld/rss/ returns 404 not found while domain.tld/rss returns a feed with 0 articles. Is that a side effect of the fact the tag (<txp:feed_link />) outputs domain.tld/rss/ ? The same goes for /atom of course

Interesting. Both return a 404 for me and I don’t see how it could be different. Once you land on atom.php/rss.php (via whatever URL), the processing is the same.

Re: deactivate something...
The output of the <txp:feed_link> tag should honour the in-force trailing slash pref. The 404 should then respond accordingly. I can’t see why it wouldn’t after a cursory glance. Hmmm.

Yes the output of <txp:feed_link> outputs /rss/ or /atom/ (and results in a 404, expected in the case at hand). I was playing with /rss (no trailing slash) putting myself in the shoes of someone – the evil spy! – who really wants to try to access the feed, even if the site does not provide any reference.

Re: deactivate something...
With or without the trailing slash, if there is no in_rss section, I get 404. At least, after the last commit.

Re: deactivate something...
OK, some further testing:
First on https://dev-demo.textpattern.co/dev/. After toggling the settings ( both the messy url to section/title and the Presentation > Section toggle), I indeed get a 404 for /atom/ (and /rss/,and variant).
On localhost, a brand new install, all default settings except the two settings above. In this case, I do get an atom-flavoured xml file as a response [*], which has no articles in it. That is the same as the other installs I used for previous tests. I have no idea what is different. Localhost runs on Apache and PHP 8.2.1.
[*] Safari wants to open in a feed reader (expected for that kind of file), Firefox downloads it and Brave (Chromium/Blink) displays the raw XML.
For the record, here is the whole transaction, seen by CURL:

Unfortunately, clean modes do not work on the demo site, so the 404 you see is sent by nginx, not txp. You’d get it for /articles/ too.
On localhost, a brand new install, all default settings except the two settings above.
You have, however, set in_rss to No for all sections, right? Then it’s weird and not reproducible on my side.

Yes, for each and every section (1! default install).
I’ll need to have a look at the demo server again…
BTW, would this be more appropriate when feeds are disabled: HTTP 501 of 405 (MDN)?
