I would love to see a resurgence in RSS instead of all the bloat thats so prevalent nowadays.
I use RSS all the time. In fact, it’s how I read my tech news. And if a site is dumb enough to break their RSS feed, well then I no longer use their site.
Where do you subscribe?
I was an avid RSS user ten years ago but Web 2.0 replaced it.
I subscribe to several YouTube channels through RSS thanks to new pipe telling me they existed. I also subscribe to fdroid’s blog, CoinDesk, and tech sections of Epoch Times and New York Post. However, most of my tech news I end up getting from Lemmy, so don’t use those very often.
Neat idea.
RSS is still how most podcasts get distributed. (Excluding Spotify)
I’m a bit confused as to how this could be an alternative to social media. The only things I’ve known RSS feeds to be used for are keeping up with subscriptions on platforms like YouTube and Odysee or updates for games like RuneScape.
Also, I just want to say that the last time I heard someone use the term “vcard”, it meant something completely different and I was confused at first.
Podcasting runs on RSS too, the problem is still that RSS doesn’t help discovery of content the way social networks do. And I have no idea how sharing virtual business cards (vCards) help either, they hurt anonymity in fact (unless you’re making anonymous ones with no real info in them.
vCard
Please…no
Most org/people still use FB, Twtr, Instagram. However, I do find it useful for YouTube.
