I wonder if there's something like Twitter but a feed (RSS or otherwise) of interesting people's blog, YouTube, podcast or creative work?
I feel the value of Twitter would be a feed of interesting people. But 280 characters is just knee jerk thoughts.
Something to easily discover people, like Twitter, whist showing their content, seems more valuable.
Right now, the discovery part sucks. It's possible to find interesting people and sub to the RSS, but not everyone has that (like my blog). Not to mention how spread out content is, someone might release a podcast, or interesting YouTube vid, instead of just blog articles. It's just too much work.
- Duralias 4y agoIsn't that what the Twitter founder is making with Blue Sky? An RSS feed, but for social media.

I use it to follow people (hundreds) on whatever platform they choose - Twitter, a blog, YouTube, even on a public TiddlyWiki. This doesn't solve the problem of discoverability, but it solves half of what you described. https://fraidyc.at/ https://fraidyc.at/

- stefandesu 4y agoI wish there was a way to integrate ActivityPub into static sites. As far as I know, you can't just add ActivityPub to your site hosted on GitHub Pages, for example.
- anderspitman 4y agoWe need to decouple discovery and distribution of content. Discovery is much easier to manage with centralized platforms. Distribution is better decentralized. And since we have URLs there's no reason for them to be tied together.
