I commented yesterday on 'replacements' for Twitter and included RSS in it. Thing is, RSS is just a bit 'technical' for a lot, especially with Google shutting down Reader which (far from ideal) was a visible entry point (and Wave, which IMHO was a Twitter-killer). If there was an easy adoption where everyone has an RSS reader app and RSS feeds were heavily promoted just 1-click then yeah. As a stereotypical early adopter of Twitter sitting on the toilet pondering life while Tweeting, the stereotype was indeed a thing, as was the blogosphere then in my niche. Twitter complimented that blogosphere with short posts and strong social bonds from those that might not have a blog. Now the blogosphere, I feel, may be coming back. And with that super potential for a product that makes self-hosting, blogging, short posts, following, following back ( avian mentioned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webmention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webmention), super smooth and simple. But it's chicken-and-egg. I'm all for it and that's nothing to do with Trump.
