At a minimum we should get off of social media platforms owned and directed by malevolent far-right demagogues.
How about that as a starting point, Andrej? You're an influential, widely-respected guy. Lead, and people will follow.

He's the kind of person who's really privileged by Twitter. In an RSS world we probably never would've heard of vibe coding.
True, but there's also BlueSky, Mastodon, and his own extremely-popular YouTube channel. X needs him far more than he needs X.
Before YC gets to fund MmRSSy (RSS, but for memes)
I'd ask Andrej to "submit to HN" for the "almost optimal of three worlds"

Bring back? RSS never went away.

I got a theory but curious about others thoughts.
My theory is barrier to entry, network density, lurker effect, UX, dopamine and attention economy loop, content recommendation etc all fell behind.
One hint is how TikTok’s old parent company started as a content aggregator and still runs one of the biggest one in china called Toutiao.
