   had to explain RSS to two fellow gen z-ers

   me: its kind of like subscribing for updates on a website, before "following" was a thing.

   them: oh, is that something new?

   me: actually closed "following" on walled gardens, like twitter, kind of killed out a lot of RSS for our generation, but there are people who still use it and find it handy

   them: wait, so i don't need to make an account?

   me: no.

     @pixouls RSS would be an insanely utopian concept if it didn't already exist

     @pixouls as a gen-z-er the fact that rss doesnt require an account lowkey blows my mind even though i understand how it works. its a feeling that has gradually faded, but when i discovered it i didn't believe it was real

     @pixouls I think I remember some hacky way to follow a twitter feed sans account, maybe even with an rss feed? Making a note here for next weekend
