people like platforms over protocols because of marketing and integration no one is marketing IRC or RSS, but Discord and Twitter/X are spewed everywhere
at least some big sites still do RSS (you can put a YouTube channel page into your RSS reader to follow it, for example) but they don't really promote it to end users, probably because the RSS user experience in 202X is abysmal and you get dumped into a pile of raw XML if you aren't already in-the-know about RSS
I guess when it comes to protocols, I do see people using xmpp a fair bit.
>>18 the fact that bouncers are the solution for keeping up on IRC is some shit
