Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs confirms that legislative work on mandating RSS channels' maintenance on government bodies is underway » Kontrabanda
Poland’s Ministry of Digital Affairs is working on legislation that could require all government bodies to provide RSS or Atom channels on their websites. If adopted, the regulation would place Poland among the first EU countries to introduce such a legal mandate.
So basically government fediverse instances.
Not even remotely? RSS/ATOM is in no way federated or has anything to do with the Fediverse.
All this means that government news will be accessible in a standardised format.
Not really. RSS feeds are better for announcements in my opinion, as there's no account associated, and the ways of viewing them are even more flexible and simple than the Fedi infrastructure.
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 🤷♂️
