People like and talk about rss readers because they have a paradigm and user interface that allow the user to granularly control the information, not the other way around.
The specificities of an RSS feed are basically twofold: to organise the contents of individual sources in a personal hierarchical structure, and to make it possible to distinguish what has already been read from what is still to be read.
This is quite aligned with the ethos of Nostr, so a convergence seems very plausible and necessary.
Unfortunately, Nostr's developers don't much like lists and similar structures, all preferring the approach of a huge, monolithic feed, where the read status is impossible to manage.
They are so adverse to this approach that practically no clients have a dedicated section for the long format in the user profile!
So asking the rss developers to integrate Nostr might be a good plan to bring in some fresh air. This could also encourage more users to use Nostr for blogging.
