2025: OMG RSS is still around!
2026: RSS is still around. Thank heavens!

@brentsimmons It's surprising how many people are using RSS. I something bumps into people in real life who use it.

I feel that people say "RSS is dead" because RSS users don't talk back (unlike, say, on social media) and it's hard to know they exist, but there is a reason it's still widely supported across so many blogs and sites.

ActivityPub is next gen RSS, adding boosts and replies. I don't want to subscribe to a million feeds or podcasts, but I would like to follow a lot of people and see what articles, videos and podcast episodes are most popular with them.

@brentsimmons Praise be to those who baked it into various CMSs back in the day, where it silently continues to do its job, beneath the notice of web devs and Chief Growth Officers. (And thanks for NNW.)

RSS − like punk − never dies

@brentsimmons god I hope not. An RSS Reader is literally how I manage all of the text-based social media websites right now and it works far better than their respective apps
