I’m still on the fence about that…I think it’d make more sense for many to drop social media and opt for their own site with RSS feeds. A lot of social media for some is little more than a noisier RSS reader. Sometimes even literally with those with auto-playing videos. 😬
Nah, I get that normal people wouldn’t, but I can dream. It’s so much better than making Yet Another Account. Plus I know in set up we’re talkin’ people pulling the feed into a reader, but also for content creators making sites, loads of sitebuilding software already has RSS baked in, so it’s not even that big an ask from them.
If there’s another more convenient no-sign-up method of keeping up with sites and stuff online, I’d love to know, 'cause I know many aren’t about to use RSS.
Go to your favorite content creators and ask them to create a profile on Bluesky. If you don’t ask them, how are they supposed to know?

Y’all are delulu/out of touch with normal people if you think they’re gonna set up an RSS feed

But how would the bots reply? That’s what generates foot traffic, which is what brings ads, which is what is not enough to pay for the bills!
Perfect business model, I had a VC review it and got high marks
RSS is kinda a pain to set up though, not everyone wants to go through that.
It can be, yeah. However, similar may be said of responsible social media setup.
Once again, Lemmy vastly overestimates how much hassle people will put up with as far as technology is concerned.
They should know they have options at least. Then they can make the decision for themselves.
