The Fediverse will (currently) never be as good as RSS because RSS feeds don't discriminate between readers.
The feed doesn't care who's reading the information (or what naughty opinions the reader has) but much of the Fediverse operates completely differently.

@gabriel @gabriel I think the #Fediverse and #RSS serve entirely different purposes though, so that's not a bad thing. -

@gabriel Most fediverse servers don't discriminate against readers (e.g. you can retrieve outbox contents without signing your request). They only discriminate against writers.

@mint @gabriel But signed fetch is still optional there, isn't it? I can access https://lain.com/users/lain/outbox with unsigned request.

@silverpill @gabriel @mint On Pleroma yes, on Akkoma you'll have a hard time finding an instance that doesn't enforce signed fetch. Even floatingghost's instance requires it.
