unpopular opinion: twitterific, like rss, the floppy drive, and the headphone jack, needed to die. Sorry .. not sorry?
RSS and headphone jacks are still alive and well.
In fact, RSS support is one of the best features of Mastodon; and I think of Activity pub as a descendant of it.
@jgg headphone jacks are not alive and well. But, RSS has moved to "techie footnote" which is fine.

True, tech giants are giving headphone jack a death by thousand cuts, but it's still breathing. And it is still easier, faster and more efficient than the alternatives. I wouldn't buy a smartphone without it, having alternatives.
RSS is becoming like radio: the offer is bigger than ever, but its star is dimmed by the newer and brighter. I don't think neither of them will ever really die.
