RSS prevents lock-in. that's huge and people are slowly figuring that out. could we use #ActivityPub in place of RSS to make it more interactive?

@wjmaggos @js @tomwebster

Yes, probably. The two are similar in many ways - especially when you include realtime RSS (like WebSub)

I think it’s best for these two to coexist as long as possible - for instance, even Mastodon generates RSS feeds of users’ posts. More like this, please.

ActivityPub provides 5x the interactivity of RSS for 20x the complexity budget.

@js @tomwebster
With RSS you can combine formats in the same feed, so you can get blogs, news pubs, and podcasts in the same feed. Podcast Addict can't do that.
