    RSS is as old as the internet but it’s been effectively killed, except for the websites that host it accidentally. Our city and The Orange House has one but it’s only limited information posted there.

      RSS really should be more common.

      You use to get RSS feeds for Twitter accounts. AFAIR. So Twitter accounts were effectively RSS notification feeds at one point.

      Aaron Swartz was involved in developing RSS v1.0 too, cofounder of Reddit.

        Aaron would be sadly disappointed, but probably unsurprised that we allowed the internet devolve to it’s current state. Mastodon still supports RSS so that would be effectively the same thing.
