Oh hi there, identi.ca. I forgot all about you, because you no longer support RSS in any useful fashion. You're Just Another Web Site To Go Check instead of something I can subscribe to next to all the rest.
NNTP, IRC, XMPP, whatever: I'd take any protocol that people are already using for other things! But telling me I can install A Special App to read this is even less compelling than "remember to go to that one Web site frequently"!

That is, in status.net I could subscribe to my stream, and see everything I'd actually get on my user page. With pump2rss, I'd have to enter each wotsit I follow one at a time to make a disjointed flow of stuff, and I'd have to work to keep it in sync. Syndication is supposed to automate, not make more work.
Oh neat, and https://pump2rss.com/feed/bkuhn@identi.ca.atom is blank because he only sends to contacts.
