The most universal element in Nostr is the public key as the ID, followed by the relay model, and then the RSS mechanism.

Is NOSTR the "everything" protocol? The freedom answer to both WeChat and Elons wet dream for the future of X?

Here’s our simplified way of looking at it: In the beginning, RSS was used to distribute and aggregate content from different websites. Content creators usually had their own independent sites to publish content, while readers typically didn’t have websites of their own for publishing. Then Twitter came along — all registered users could post content directly to Twitter’s servers, and its built‑in follow system effectively replaced RSS. With Nostr, users publish content to different relays, and its follow mechanism works more like RSS.
Ok I get it. I always really like RSS openness and clean experience. I found atomstr as a solution to get some RSS in my nostr feed. Not always rendering well but it's better than having multiple app.
