It's an old message but it bears repeating, so Cory Doctorow repeats it: RSS is the way we get to have a decentralized web that doesn't depend on centralized services like Twitter and Facebook. "RSS basically works like social media should work. Using RSS is a chance to visit a utopian future in which the platforms have no power, and all power is vested in publishers, who get to decide what to publish, and in readers, who have total control over what they read and how, without leaking any personal information through the simple act of reading." It was, indeed, quite an act of marketing to convince people that RSS isn't what they want.
