   Thanks for your comment, I'm responding from a different account because the editor is better here. ;-)

   I’d just like to see RSS stand alongside ActivityPub, so we can build systems according to the capabilities of each.

   I think Mastodon by having native support for RSS 2.0 did the right thing. Very important.

   We have RSS 2.0 support in Bluesky thanks to John Spurlock’s work. I worked with him on it and it represents how far I’d go now considering it’s 2023 and we’re in the process of building the open social network we could have built years ago and didn’t because social media lived inside corporate silos.

   An example…

   https://rss.firesky.tv/?filter=from:scripting.com

   I’ve asked Bluesky to build this into the platform, and I’d like Mastodon to add the new features to their implementation.

   This could be done in a few weeks and we’d have significant interop now. A basis for a lot of new building, in early 2024, on our timetable, rather than Facebook's. I don't like how much attention they're getting, how the open community is looking to them to ratify the open system. This feels wrong.

   I would totally expect work to continue around ActivityPub. These are different things, on a different track.

   Independent developers would be empowered to create new open systems in a way we’ve never been able to before.

   PS: This was written quickly on my iPad in front of the tv on a Saturday night so please forgive any typos and repetition, and I probably left one or two things out too. 😀
