Funny you should mention both RSS and BlueSky/Mastodon as a return to the web, since Dave Winer (who pioneered RSS) has written about how BlueSky/Mastodon etc. are very much NOT the web. http://scripting.com/2024/12/21.html

> Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon are the IBM, Microsoft and Apple of 2024. It's ridiculous if they think this is a web.

Makes a lot of sense and I don't disagree. They're definitely not a return to the web and I probably misrepresented them that way in my post. I was mostly using them as examples of existing platforms where you can find content without being subjected to the algorithm's suggestions, if you choose to use the "following" or "subscribed" features instead of "Discover" or "For You".
