Speaking of advocating RSS, I was trying out Nikola [0] for static site generation and found that they have a really nice-looking RSS end-point [1] that is viewable both from the browser and an RSS reader. Looking into the XML, it turns out it's called xml-stylesheet: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="assets/xml/rss.xsl" media="all"?> And I would argue that this is an excellent way to introduce new readers to RSS: instead of the browser popping up a download prompt, you can make your RSS feeds themselves a dedicated page for advocating RSS, in case an interested reader is browsing through the links on your site.

One thing it would get people's attention would be how much time a compilation test of 150K or more posts / pages would take to finish with Gutenberg. That is something we, users, have discussed with the Nikola team and it's something others have already discussed about it with other static website generators. Here's the discussion in case you are interested in: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/issues/2842
