And the amount of AI bots commenting in this thread illustrates a very depressing future for all of us

Not a fan. But why does the article have a reddit quote that is inaccurate? The article says Reddit said the following but nowhere does Reddit say it:
> If you use RSS for feeds outside of a community you moderate, there is no replacement. We know RSS has been a beloved part of the open web for a long time, and we’re grateful to everyone who used it to stay connected to Reddit.

> I don't see how any government or business (especially the former) can justify using X at this point
Open RSS wrote about exactly this a couple weeks ago [1]. Bluesky being publicly readable with RSS is an improvement. But government offices should be publishing on their own RSS feeds, and the platforms should be secondary, not the other way around. The amount of policy that gets announced on social media without even a mention on their own website is bizarre. Why isn't posting their content off platform legally required at this point?

I think he just means that you should add an autodiscovery link tag pointing to your RSS feed URL. Then it will automatically be picked up by RSS readers. See https://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery.
As unnecessarily snarky as this person is being with you, don't let a HackerNews comment stop you from being an great person.

Right. Consoles shouldn't be doing it either, but here we are...

> If you have a large enough codebase, you'll likely find a few cases where things work in TypeScript but its equivalent somehow fails type check in JSDoc.
You keep repeating this throughout the thread. Can you give an example?

Sorry but this is a pointless survey. Not sure how one could determine whether RSS is alive when it already is.
The other problem is that the responses will be skewed depending on where you choose to advertise this survey and who's more passionate about taking it. Posting it here would likely trigger responses from those more inclined to say "rss is not dead", since that's what the overwhelming sentiment is here.
I can only conclude that you likely already know the survey is pointless, but it's being used to advertise for your RSS reader (you plug that in on multiple places on the site). You'd probably be better off just advertising your RSS reader instead.

> I really am mad at Rachel
Don't know what you're so angry with Rachel about. I provide feeds for readers and many of them are way too greedy and frequently do hammer websites, often unneccessarily. Mix in all the rampant AI bots and you got a recipe for an extremely expensive server bill.
Getting angry at someone who's trying to keep their server costs down to provide you something for free is kind of weird.

It can be done but it's not practical because most RSS readers don't even send an Accept header at all, let alone one with an XML mime type.

You can try openrss.org. I believe the Spotify and Apple Music feeds will work for you.
