@brentsimmons Ohyeah, and Feedbro plugin on Firefox works very nicely for tracking feeds.

@brentsimmons *(narrator)* They did not, in fact, stop being surprised in 2027.

Pink! Polonium!

@brentsimmons In retrospect, I wonder if all the chatter way back when about the death of Google Reader served to convince people that RSS was dead (and therefore everybody should sign up for Facebook).

@brentsimmons @Cheatha Kids! netnewswire is the best thing I started to use last year

@pinkpolonium It seemed true then and still seems true.

@brentsimmons RSS is great. The internet coming to me rather than the opposite.

@brentsimmons –

(The criterion for "people" is that any two or more people during a given year say something like this at least once, or…?)

@Starfia It’s a thing I happen to notice all the time. (If anyone would notice, it would be people who write RSS readers.)

@brentsimmons Maybe it's time to rename it to "Really Sustainable Syndication"

@brentsimmons as a fully grown adult who still actively struggles with object permanence, i fear that "number of solar orbits" is not the limiting factor

@brentsimmons wait ’til they hear about SMTP!

As a #Friendica user (one of the few services that supports RSS feeds and AP in the same app), I'm sure glad that RSS is still around! Except for all the services that are in the Extinguish phase of the Extend-Embrace-Extinguish strategy, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Reddit - all of them conveniently dropped support for RSS around the time they shut down most external APIs, and now the only way to retrieve data from them is using scrapers like fetchrss.com/

@brentsimmons You have maintained NetNewsWire for an extended time. Otherwise I would not found it last year! RSS readers keep RSS fun.

@brentsimmons Didn't Google shut down RSS in 2013?
