Isn't RSS better than all other federation protocols?
You have four properties of feeds: category, tree-comment, real-time and persistent.

Decentralization is now the most important feature, and taking responsibility of your own data is the best version of that.
The only missing part is decentralized RSS servers and clients. Think backup for your posts and RSS reader services that also backup your favorite feeds.
All you need for that is a distributed db underlying it all like this: http://root.rupy.se and a reader web tool.
The only feature we lack is a category (think hashtag) for RSS.
