At first glance -- and that's an important caveat, since I haven't dug in -- this looks like it's duplicating an awful lot of work that's already been done in the IndieWeb using existing, well-established protocols. https://indieweb.org
Is there a reason to keep the post type out of the JSON and store it as file metadata? That works in Dat which supports file metadata, but what about when the data is handled in other ways (as plain files on disk, etc)? https://unwalled.garden/docs/how-does-it-work

Yeah I knew there had been some shots at it, but my google fu couldn't pull up anything solid to point to. I'd love to see if somebody ever tried to "go big" with RSS. EDIT: also the comments RSS is generally comments posted to the blog, right? Not quite the same thing as each user having their own RSS feed with their posts and comments.
The thing is, RSS is about dissemination of content while follow/like/comment is more about dissemination of opinion. There were indeed some protocols to fill the missing pieces, including json-ld for having some sane, common format and the Salmon protocol to make information go back up to the source. Like a salmon.

{"img":{"src":"xml_has_its_uses.png"}},
{"span":{"textContent":" XML!?"}}
]

I’d often make a site and a friend wouldn’t be able to connect to it. I think if these issues could be resolved is some way the whole network would really take off.
What is the likelihood of Beaker running on Android?
>Unlike Twitter and the other social networks, RSS never tried to capture the social graph, likes, comments, annotations, retweets, and etc of its userbase. It limited itself to posted content (mostly blog posts) and that was a missed opportunity. >missed opportunity Maybe it's just me, but RSS being all about content is the best thing about it.
