@brentsimmons @timo live it und used it ever since
@brentsimmons I heard the same thing about e-mail.
@brentsimmons @timo I am about to Write my own little rss aggregator / reader because none that i know has the features i like to have 🤷♂️
RSS is such a great thing!
@brentsimmons A content of a webapp does not depens on appearance and operation. Web MVC works fine. Content syndication too.
@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
@brentsimmons
RSS − like punk − never dies 
@brentsimmons If that happens, I will cancel my Internet access.

@brentsimmons We Salute you Aaron Swartz.
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 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.
2025: OMG RSS is still around!
2026: RSS is still around. Thank heavens!
@brentsimmons Didn't Google shut down RSS in 2013?
@brentsimmons wait ’til they hear about SMTP!
@brentsimmons as a fully grown adult who still actively struggles with object permanence, i fear that "number of solar orbits" is not the limiting factor 😭
@brentsimmons Maybe it's time to rename it to "Really Sustainable Syndication" 🤔
(The criterion for "people" is that any two or more people during a given year say something like this at least once, or…?)
@Starfia It’s a thing I happen to notice all the time. (If anyone would notice, it would be people who write RSS readers.)
@brentsimmons @Cheatha Kids! netnewswire is the best thing I started to use last year :)
@brentsimmons In retrospect, I wonder if all the chatter way back when about the death of Google Reader served to convince people that RSS was dead (and therefore everybody should sign up for Facebook).
@pinkpolonium It seemed true then and still seems true.
@brentsimmons *(narrator)* They did not, in fact, stop being surprised in 2027.
@brentsimmons Ohyeah, and Feedbro plugin on Firefox works very nicely for tracking feeds.
