I can't comprehend where this notion that RSS is somehow "dead" is coming from. RSS is ubiquitous: every major blogging platform, aggregator, and other media site continues to offer feeds, including all of the major video sharing sites. The entire podcasting ecosystem is based on RSS.
I consume HN, Reddit, Lobste.rs, about a hundred blogs, a hundred podcasts, YouTube and lots of other sui generis stuff all via RSS feeds, subscribed in TT-RSS with Liferea as a frontend.
RSS hasn't gone away and is not going away.
> I loved RSS, I sorely miss the protocol based internet rather than the web based internet we have now.
It hasn't gone anywhere. If you miss it, consider the possibility that you yourself have followed the garden path away from it, and forgotten the way back.
- jwells89 2y agoYeah I subscribe to everything from major tech news sites (Ars Technica, The Verge for example) to tiny blogs. RSS is very widely adopted, even if nobody is making noise about it or trying to hype it up. Anything but dead.
