It could be a reducing interest in posting totally public stuff. Perhaps people want to just use group chats in Signal instead?
RSS. And very happy that it is!
As long as software is available in the Software Manager to be installed that way... I don't care what format it's in.

We recommend fediverse protocols wherever possible - so I'm interested in the comments here about how that is affected
