RSS is quietly alive
The oldest syndication format is still the most respectful way to follow a site.
RSS never died; it just stopped being fashionable. Feed readers kept working while social timelines changed their rules every season.
A feed gives readers control: no algorithm, no tracking pixel, no notification designed to pull them back.
This journal publishes a full-text feed. Subscribe once and new essays arrive in whatever reader you already use.
If you build a site this year, add a feed. It takes ten lines and it is a small promise to your readers.
