I don't disagree with the sentiment as I love RSS, but doesn't it have a different use case than ActivityPub or ATProto?

- madeofpalk 3mo agoI mean, conceptually ActivityPub is quite similar to RSS. You might be able to call it Less Simple Syndication.
- rapnie 3mo agoThat doesn't do ActivityPub (or ATProto) justice. The inverse would be "more complicated RSS". But it is way more than that. You get semantically meaningful typed messages on AP. Most people think of AP as what you get on the fediverse, where basically the only type in use is the ActivityStreams Note object. But it can be anything that is transferred in a standards-conform interoperable way.
