Research direction

The issue provides no repository files, tests, or entry points to inspect. Start by reviewing the linked RSS discussions and clarify which social networking software and two-way RSS behavior are in scope; done would require an agreed implementation plan and acceptance criteria.

Description

It's not just me that says that our social web should be connected by RSS.

Cory Doctorow said it.

A new year's resolution

So let's make a resolution for 2026, that we the people, will demand that the social networking software we use get in tune with the web, and support two-way RSS.

I will help any and all to get this going.

I'm just like you, if you don't want your online world to be owned by billionaires.
