Is it just me or are all of these "new" micro blogging platforms just trying to recreate RSS feeds. You take a few pieces of relatively simple tech and wire them up and you have solved the "decentralized social media" problem. RSS, Webmention, Webfinger, and WebSub (formerly PubSubHubbub).

Create a better "RSS reader" that is more Twitter timeline interface and less email "folders" and you have it.

Also for the love-of-god can we dump the hokey @username@hostname mentions and just use username@hostname like the internet at large has used for decades. username@hostname is NOT only for email addresses.

I for one do want folders in my microblogging timeline. Mastodon mostly has that, Twitter lists don't really fill the gap though.

Nope, I can't stand RSS readers that have a Twitter timeline interface!! I'd rather have the ability to display one single feed, than all feeds at once.

I’m working on a new RSS reader. Hopefully I’d be able to show something in the beginning of next year.
