It's time to stop using RSS for podcasts, instead let's use Spotify.
It's time to stop using https, instead let's use a new protocol owned by Facebook to visit web pages.
It's time to stop using IRC, instead let's use Slack.
It's time to stop using email, instead let's use a proprietary messaging app.
OR let's not commit everything to corporate-controlled protocols and platforms, and keep SMS, RSS, HTTPS, email, and so on. Please.
