I would love to see a resurgence in RSS instead of all the bloat thats so prevalent nowadays.

    I use RSS all the time. In fact, it’s how I read my tech news. And if a site is dumb enough to break their RSS feed, well then I no longer use their site.

        I subscribe to several YouTube channels through RSS thanks to new pipe telling me they existed. I also subscribe to fdroid’s blog, CoinDesk, and tech sections of Epoch Times and New York Post. However, most of my tech news I end up getting from Lemmy, so don’t use those very often.

    Most org/people still use FB, Twtr, Instagram. However, I do find it useful for YouTube.

    It’s a neat idea but it still requires hosting and for the vast unwashed masses who don’t want to buy a domain and setup hosting for this stuff at the end of the day I fear this would be Facebook with extra steps.

    RSS sucks. Activity Streams are a better in every way (other than compatibility established software, obviously).

    If you’re building anything new that uses RSS today, I encourage you to do both RSS and Activity Streams. Or just do what I do, and only do AS.
