AIUI, the "Decentralized" added to RSS here stands for: - Propagation (via asynchronous notifications). Making it more like NNTP. Though perhaps that is not very different functionally from feed (RSS and Atom) aggregators: those just rely on pulling more than on pushing. - A domain name per user. This can be problematic: you have to be a relatively tech-savvy person with a stable income and living in an accommodating enough country (no disconnection of financial systems, blocking of registrar websites, etc) to reliably maintain a personal domain name. - Mandatory signatures. I would prefer OpenPGP over a fixed algorithm though: otherwise it lacks cryptographic agility, and reinvents parts of it (including key distribution). And perhaps to make that optional. - Bitcoin blockchain. I do not quite see how those help with decentralization, though propagation may help with discovery, which indeed tends to be problematic in decentralized and distributed systems. But that can be achieved with NNTP or aggregators. While the rest seems to hurt the "Simple" part of RSS.
