I think he means the server hosting the RSS feed and not the server hosting your RSS tool (like the late Google Reader).

  In that case, the server hosting the feed does now nothing about you as soon as you are not the sole user on a server hosting a feed (I sure wasn't sure how to interpret that, so I tried to cover both cases)

    The server would know your IP address, and most likely your user agent and referrer by looking at their weberver log though, right? cf. eg. : https://panopticlick.eff.org/index.php?action=log&js=yes https://panopticlick.eff.org/index.php?action=log&js=yes

      Which server exactly? If you use a feedreader, it is not you or your browser that fetches the page, it is the feedreader itself. So a site only knows that their feed was fetched once from a feedreader, not who or how manye people read that feed.
