A lot of people, feed readers/aggregators included can't hep but butcher it into JSON.
Which are entirely different kinds of data formats.
XML is for text-based extensible formats.
JSON is just, here, basic raw text-based data structure.
For example, you entirely loose the extensibility bits with JSON.
This is probably the whole reason why Google wants to do create JSON feeds, 3rd part of EEE.
@sjw You only have one namespace.
JSON formats are cathedral style by essense, only one entity can say if you can use something or not. Meanwhile XML doesn’t gives a damn if you shove another namespace (which can be your own) inside of it. That’s an inheritance from SGML btw and it allowed for HTML5 to effectively be able to add new elements without every non-up-to-date browser potentially choking on it or failing to fallback to older style elements.
Like roughly <video src="https://example.org/video.mp4"><object src="https://example.org/video.mp4"><a href="https://example.org/video.mp4">video.mp4</a></object></video> can’t be done in JSON, while that would work from the first web browser to the very latest with probably okay compatibility for Mozilla 1.0.
Pleroma should support the finger protocol too.

RFC <= 2000 is a lot of fun if it's the former.
FSE supports gopher (built into Pleroma, try `lynx gopher://freespeechextremist.com/`, let's all love lain), ssh (built into Pleroma again, let's all love lain also, but only port 10022, `ssh -p 10022`, don't use port 22, it will likely get your IP black-holed), finger as of an hour ago (building support into Pleroma would be even better but this was a quick hack), git (via git-daemon).
