RSS can have push if it uses the same method that OStatus (ActivityPub's predecessor) did: PubSubHubbub/WebSub.
In fact, Google itself recommended doing this for a while to Atom and RSS feeds to use this tech, since they wanted to be able to consume it on their end.
- rakoo 6y agoYes this is what I mentioned: WebSub moves the load from the publisher to the hub while giving subscribers their content as soon as it is published. But it's something that lives on top of RSS, and requires additional resources (especially for subscribers who need an endpoint running somewhere) RSS is just doing an HTTP call to retrieve a XML document.
