Same! It'll be interesting to follow this and see what happens. But in the long run I think we need something distributed but also connected (like diaspora or mastodon maybe, concept wise). And as always, it'd be probably hard to establish.

A blog on your own server with an RSS feed is more than enough

  With the (text) sources in Git so they can be easily archived, distributed and indexed for the future. I've fired up and taken down multiple attempts at blogging, I don't know if anything I've written was worth keeping but still, the information is lost.

  True -- but I wonder if Github would be willing to do the "on your own server" bit -- they already let you host Github Pages for free, and you can bring your own RSS support.

    Certainly you can have RSS-enabled blogs of Github or Gitlab. I think Netlify (also free for a single-user instance) makes it a bit easier, but isn't strictly necessary.

      So I can say I've personally never read the RSS spec, but all you need is a functioning feed.xml/index.xml right? I use Hugo[0] for my statically hosted site[1] and I honestly have never even thought about it (which address is the RSS feed) much until now. I think this battle could be won in the tooling -- if all/most of the static website tools that you'd use support RSS, you can expect that it will show up (Hugo, Gatsby, VuePress, etc).
