Guess which format is going to outlast all these proprietary syndication formats. I’d say RSS, which I believe to be true, but really, it’s HTML.
Chris didn't even mention Atom, the other XML-based standard for feeds… the one I use. 😔
Let's POSSE to Mastodon with a Feed and a GitHub Action
After building a Node script for my own POSSE needs, I thought it would be good if other people could also use it. I knew not many people would be able to use the script as-is, so I built a GitHub Action that is much simpler to use, without losing any feature, even gaining some!

Having only the content I want to see only be shown when I want to see it with the freedom to jump between readers as I please, all with no ads? For me, no other service comes close to the flexibility, robustness, and overall ease-of-use that RSS offers.
Étrange hasard, magie de la sérendipité, je lisais « ainsi va la vie, en attendant le tsunami » chez Karl juste quelques minutes après avoir publié mon billet à propos de l'éruption du Hunga Tonga et du tsunami qu'elle a provoqué.
New rule: if your RSS/Atom feed doesn't contain the full content, I don't subscribe.
I want to be able to read feeds in my feed reader when offline, so I will not lose time to load empty feeds anymore. 😡
Atom > RSS: Why We Should Just Call Them “Feeds” Instead of “RSS” Feeds
I’m no longer calling feeds “RSS feeds”. From now on I’m calling them “syndication” feeds, or just “feeds”. There have been two standards for doing this type of XML-based website syndication for a long time now — Atom and RSS. RSS is older and has more penetration, so its name has been confused with its function. Just like Xerox, Kleenex and Google."
