@vv4rner While I love what RSS enables and there's a huge ecosystem for it, I am against it for DRY reasons. It's stable in the fact that no one has iterated on it in over a decade. It also helps that WordPress core handles a lot of the admin tax for me on maintaining it, but it has caused metacrap issues for me in the past.
So what to do to replace RSS? If you look at most of my content, I've got the HTML marked up with (richer) microformats for those who'd like to consume that directly without needing a side file for it. There's an existing ecosystem of microformats parsers and even social readers that use microformats over RSS. Incidentally microformats are also part of the semantic layer that makes site-to-site converstions on IndieWeb-based sites work better.

"text": "I mentioned recently that there might be quite a difference in tone between my links and my journal here on my website:\n\n\n \u2019Sfunny, when I look back at older journal entries they\u2019re often written out of frustration, usually when something in the dev world is bugging me. But when I look back at all the links I\u2019ve bookmarked the vibe is much more enthusiastic, like I\u2019m excitedly pointing at something and saying \u201cCheck this out!\u201d I feel like sentiment analyses of those two sections of my site would yield two different results.\n\n\nMy journal entries have been even more specifically negative of late. I\u2019ve been bitchin\u2019 and moanin\u2019 about web browsers. But at least I\u2019m an equal-opportunities bitcher and moaner.\n\n\nMozilla, I complained about your Facebook Container extension for Firefox.\n\nApple, I complained about the ridiculous way Safari\u2019s update cycle is tied to operating system.\n\nGoogle, I complained about the way a breaking change was rolled out in Chrome (and the implications for future breaking changes).\n\nMicrosoft, you got off lightly. But please consider any of my criticisms of Chrome to apply to Edge too, seeing as they\u2019re basically the same now.\nI wish my journal weren\u2019t so negative, but my mithering behaviour has been been encouraged. On more than one occasion, someone I know at a browser company has taken me aside to let me know that I should blog about any complaints I might have with their browser. It sounds counterintuitive, I know. But these blog posts can give engineers some ammunition to get those issues prioritised and fixed.\n\nSo my message to you is this: if there\u2019s something about a web browser that you\u2019re not happy with (or, indeed, if there\u2019s something you\u2019re really happy with), take the time to write it down and publish it.\n\nPublish it on your website. You could post your gripes on Twitter but whinging on Jack\u2019s website is just pissing in the wind. And I suspect you also might put a bit more thought into a blog post on your own site.\n\nI know it\u2019s a clich\u00e9 to say that browser makers want to hear from developers\u2014and I\u2019m often cynical about it myself\u2014but they really do want to know what we think. Share your thoughts. I\u2019ll probably end up linking to what you write.",
"html": "<p><a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal/18292\">I mentioned recently</a> that there might be quite a difference in tone between <a href=\"https://adactio.com/links\">my links</a> and <a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal\">my journal</a> here on <a href=\"https://adactio.com/\">my website</a>:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>\u2019Sfunny, when I look back at older <a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal\">journal</a> entries they\u2019re often written out of frustration, usually when something in the dev world is bugging me. But when I look back at all the <a href=\"https://adactio.com/links\">links</a> I\u2019ve bookmarked the vibe is much more enthusiastic, like I\u2019m excitedly pointing at something and saying \u201cCheck this out!\u201d I feel like sentiment analyses of those two sections of my site would yield two different results.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>My journal entries have been even more specifically negative of late. I\u2019ve been bitchin\u2019 and moanin\u2019 about web browsers. But at least I\u2019m an equal-opportunities bitcher and moaner.</p>\n\n<ul><li>\n<strong>Mozilla</strong>, I complained about your <a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal/18328\">Facebook Container extension for Firefox</a>.</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Apple</strong>, I complained about <a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal/18335\">the ridiculous way Safari\u2019s update cycle is tied to operating system</a>.</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Google</strong>, I complained about the way <a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal/18337\">a breaking change was rolled out in Chrome</a> (and the implications for future breaking changes).</li>\n<li>\n<strong>Microsoft</strong>, you got off lightly. But please consider any of my criticisms of Chrome to apply to Edge too, seeing as they\u2019re basically the same now.</li>\n</ul><p>I wish my journal weren\u2019t so negative, but my mithering behaviour has been been encouraged. On more than one occasion, someone I know at a browser company has taken me aside to let me know that I should blog about any complaints I might have with their browser. It sounds counterintuitive, I know. But these blog posts can give engineers some ammunition to get those issues prioritised and fixed.</p>\n\n<p>So my message to you is this: if there\u2019s something about a web browser that you\u2019re not happy with (or, indeed, if there\u2019s something you\u2019re really happy with), take the time to write it down and publish it.</p>\n\n<p>Publish it on your website. You could post your gripes on Twitter but whinging on Jack\u2019s website is just pissing in the wind. And I suspect you also might put a bit more thought into a blog post on your own site.</p>\n\n<p>I know it\u2019s a clich\u00e9 to say that browser makers want to hear from developers\u2014and I\u2019m often cynical about it myself\u2014but they really do want to know what we think.
