Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

We should stop and take an enormous appreciation for the total lack of control and censorship of the RSS protocol.

Its easy to forget when things work really well, but holy fuck through all of this, through the social censorship, through the advertiser attacks, the video hosting platforms, the search engines, and every other damn thing under the sun... if you have the RSS feed of the podcast you trust or value, you can always find that fucking show.

Imagine how much worse all of this would be without that avenue still open to us to share ideas?

The reason I bring this up is simply to remind us that this CAN work. It has worked. #Nostr could be the backbone for the social world.

I guess maybe not the "total lack" but I think you get the idea. RSS has been a largely independent ecosystem in this whole shitstorm. Hopefully it doesn't get wrapped up into things, maybe it will get attacked at some point. But its just nice to see it doing its job in spite of the many players that would rather it not.

RSS suffers a lot from Cloudflaritis.

That's not a protocol issue though.
