I was reading this article about instances and ATProto.
https://overreacted.io/there-are-no-instances-in-atproto/
I was hoping to get some good information about how Bluesky and other services using ATProto worked. Instead, it lead with "I know RSS is still being used somewhere (podcasts?!) but its heyday is arguably behind." This kinda lost me. I use RSS all the damn time. Arguably more than the actual web. I've legitimately considered removing the front end of my site and just doing RSS. Am I the only one? Is RSS over?
