> bloggers can provide partial RSS feeds that contain only snippets This plays well with federated microblogging (mastodon and friends). RSS can play both the role of signaling that new content is available and (if desired) providing that content. The signaling aspect is more fundamental imho. A user-centric web should aim to help people manage information overflow without dependency on gatekeepers and their opaque and manipulated algorithmic timelines. There is a certain catch-22 with supply (of RSS feeds) and demand (users with RSS readers). The ideal would be that users could consume and share RSS feeds with the lowest possible friction and highest possible privacy, e.g. have feed readers integrated into the browser (live bookmarks [1] sadly removed from firefox) or their email client [2] (thunderbird offers this).
