On Sun, Sep 06, 2020 at 05:53:45PM -0700, mailinglists at ngalt.com said unto me:

I've been seeing people talk about syndication formats how we'd
like something a little less annoying than RSS and Atom.
I'd like to suggest JSON Feed as a possible alternative:

Personally I'm happy with Atom and RSS as the defacto standards.

As background, I use tt-rss as a feed reader and it's pretty trivial tosimply subscribe to Atom/RSS feeds using a proxy (eg: https://proxy.vulpes.one/gemini/going-flying.com/~mernisse/atom.xmlgets my capsule's glog feed) or whipping up your own feed proxy. I feelthat existing syndication formats are sufficiently mature, well supportedand flexible.

Since the user-agent side is the greenfield I'm more excited to see whatsort of text based feed readers will appear.
