The mention of RSS and Atom is kind of ironic and telling about the state of the web, yeah who knew decentralizing technologies like that were a good idea? Just everyone 24 years ago.
- user3939382 3y ago> decentralizing technologies > 24 years ago I believe the SMTP RFC says 1986 or something
- calvinmorrison 3y agoTBF smtp was more designed to be decoupled and not decentralized. Trusted peers and closed networks have left a plethora of engineers spending their days combating and expanding the email protocol to bake in security, anti spam, etc.
- pc86 3y ago'86 wasn't 24 years ago? /s
- pasc1878 3y agoYes but RSS was and that is what is in discussion here - smtp is for mail which is not mentioned here.
- lyu07282 3y agoabsolutely! RSS is 24 years old (RSS 0.90, 1999) thats why i was mentioning it;)
- mcv 3y agoOne of my favourite features of Friendica is that I can follow RSS feeds just as easily as I can follow people on Mastodon or Diaspora. To me it makes no difference whether a company chooses to post their status updates on a social media account or on RSS.
