@natriumchloride @jeffmcneill oh just the context that there have been endless articles with titles like "rss is dead"

I would hope we can do a better job then rss but I guess the task is even more complex

Reports of RSS' demise have been greatly exaggerated. As with XMPP, and many other open standards that still have communities actively using them, with a range of Free Code (and sometimes proprietary) implementations. Many websites still publish RSS feeds. Eg RSS can be used to follow Titter accounts via a Nitter instance, and similar stuff is possible in Invidious using RSS.
