@AlexGizis@mstdn.social -- here's another angle. the more people read via RSS, the more options there will be beyond Mastodon. Because RSS is easier to support than Activity Pub and a lot more devs already understand how it works.

@davew@mastodon.social @AlexGizis@mstdn.social RSS is a consume-only flow. I'd much rather build communities with bidirectional interaction and discovery. But it does have its place too and I'm glad the 'don supports it.

@davew@mastodon.social, Here's yet another angle: #RSS solves for publication and syndication of posts. See: https://tinyurl.com/bdex5wys #ActivityPub solves for Activity Streams which goes beyond posts. See: https://tinyurl.com/2mxk3rjh Ultimately, #HTTP software agents will be able to process structured data consuming either. In my case, it all ends up in a #KnowledgeGraph (using a bookmarking-like interaction pattern). All the data is accessible via #SQL, #SPARQL, #GraphQL, etc.. /cc @AlexGizis@mstdn.social @judell@mastodon.social
