@wesley RSS is the one great concept we mostly forgot about.
I am not sure what happened. Web 2.0, MySpace and Facebook I guess?
@murks @wesley@fosstodon.org Weren't RSS and Atom among the hallmarks of Web 2.0? Then like all good things they faded away, while all the bloat remained and flourished.
@doxanthropos You're right, it wasn't about centralization at all at its inception! It even had some sort of decentralization in form of OpenID, so you didn't have to make a separate account for every blog you wanted to comment on, but it still got us to the point we are in today: hypercentralization and AJAX turned into a total shitshow!
And yeah, I'm also not into this Web 3.0 thing at all, Web 2.0 became something really bad regardless of that.
