I think I’m mixing the two because there are services that kind of turn Mastodon into an RSS reader.
That’s true that it is somewhat more robust than requiring a federated account, but I think that comes at the cost of discoverability which may or may not be something you might want to broadcast on a social network anyway 🤷♂️

Absolutely! I’m certainly not going to insist that things should only be published on RSS feeds! Anything is better than the authoritative source for evacuation warnings being a Twitter account! Every platform has its place, I’m just a big fan of always starting with an RSS feed for announcements as the “root source”, then pushing changes to the feed to all other platforms.
