Turn to RSS Feeds to Regain Control of the World Wide Web
RSS allows us to decentralize aggregation of content, but still has some of the same critical pitfalls of social networks. Most notably, the &quot;bubble&quot; effect is as strong as ever: my feed is entirely unique and non-reproducible. I have complete control over it, but I cannot see a feed as another user without perfectly replicating their setup.<p>I think there is a missing component that would allow us to create a decentralized social network of RSS feeds. If we cannot share our reality with others, we&#x27;re going to reproduce the same toxic patterns that social networks exhibit today, but it&#x27;s going to be completely unmanageable.
