RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information 3 years ago
Yeah, that sucks.
I've seen Twitter to Mastodon bridges, through which you could get RSS, e.g. https://bird.makeup/users/paulg/remote_follow

Types of feeds I subscribe to:
* News/blogs
* Commits, e.g https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/commits/master.atom
* Discounts for games on my wishlist: https://isthereanydeal.com/
* LKML posts mentioning a device I use: https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=GnuBee&x=A
* Repology, to be notified when packages I maintain are out-of-date: https://repology.org/
* TLS certs issued for my domains, via https://crt.sh/
* Downtime notices, e.g. https://status.mythic-beasts.net.uk/status.rss
It's by far the highest SNR and calmest notification channel I have.
