Dear @mozilla
Please, please, please put the RSS indicator back in Firefox.

People need to know about this technology which empowers users over greedy, controlling corporations.

Update: As many have pointed out, you *can* use @thunderbird as an RSS feed reader, and there are many #firefox add-ons to restore the RSS indicator (one of which I'm already using). But my point is that Firefox needs to lean into RSS as an answer to all the crap that is the modern web, and help educate users about it

@RL_Dane @mozilla@mozilla.social Yes!! I had opened this once: http://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/subscribe-to-a-website/idc-p/39707 – The idea was to re-instaure the button (with a label that makes it clear what it does for discoverability, for instance by calling it “Subscribe” or “Follow this website”, and having a minimal feed reader within Firefox itself.

Re: Subscribe to a website

Yesss to this

@nclm @RL_Dane @mozilla with WordPress adding federated ActivityPub support to all sites hosted on werdpress.com and 42K authors already using it to publish 4.5mil posts, I'd like to suggest adding an option to follow a site via Mastodon at the browser level instead of adding an increasing number of social icons to the page. Add the additional follow options like AtivityPub to the existing RSS link to the page metadata.
