i am actually probably going to deprecate the RSS feed (Atom and JSON feed unaffected) because it TURNS OUT RSS's <author /> field only accepts an email address, something i had missed while implementing it, which means that shares render completely incorrectly in all readers.
side note why the fuck is RSS like this
the change to deprecate RSS 2.0 specifically has gone live. this just means we removed the autodiscovery link for it; existing subscriptions will still work fine.
i also did the stupid hack a few people suggested of making up an email address to put in the author field. i hate it. hopefully it works correctly.
