   My periodic rave at how much I love #RSS (I am tying together lots of data for my work) and how it is truly the glue that holds together much of the open web. We are so lucky it gained critical mass before the worst of Web 2.0 took over and that it has lasted. We need to keep it alive at all costs.

     @tchambers If there isn't an RSS feed, it isn't a podcast!

     @tchambers I fell in love with it since the beginning. For a time, when Google killed Reader and started promoting that AMP shit it looked like it was agonizing. Same with podcasts, they started to fade, and suddenly, both had a resurgence. I couldn’t be happier! Now you younger guys need to embrace forums again, get rid of that short video shit thing and make a healthier internet for yourselves. 🤣

     The best thing about RSS is that it's almost impossible to break because it's so simple. You just poll a text file once a day and see what's different.

     And as a concept, it's just a list of what's on a website.

     I just can't understand why our *publicly funded* broadcaster has made it so hard to directly find their RSS over the last decade, forcing people to use their phone app or the web equivalent. Tracking users like a shitty corporation.

     @seanos Do agree: lawmakers everywhere should make support of open web and open social web platforms a mandatory part of getting taxpayer funding.
