I love RSS, but a big roadbump from the past is that it seems to be not so interactive (although that's not a fault from the protocol, if you ask me). On one hand you have websites with feeds, on the other you have separate feed readers. So every 'node' must use two different pieces of software to make it interactive. A big advantage of big tech social media is that users can produce and consume within the same software interface. I try to put these two RSS functions (consuming and producing, or publish and subscribe if you will) in the same website software, and it sort of works. I'm still trying to figure out how to safely and easily reply to feed elements, but the only viable way I found is a link inside the element to a comments section on the feed's website. Other ways seem to invite spam (an email address in the feed for example), or require webmentions to work on both sides. If any of you have ideas, feel free to brainstorm with me. If you happen to have a website, homepage or blog with a feed and you never posted it here on HN, please feel extra free to send me a message with the link (my website is in bio).
