I had a quick look but can't see what Hubzilla does different from Tent and Diaspora who also shipped their own open source software/protocol which was not compatible with anything else out there. I'd like to believe otherwise but for now it seems to me like just another bulet point on http://indiewebcamp.com/monoculture http://indiewebcamp.com/monoculture
- detaro 11y agoProblem of course is that everything is kind of a mono culture at first. Tent.io at least had multiple projects working on implementations, but never seemed extremely active to me. EDIT: that said, thank you for the indiewebcamp link, there are some very interesting things and ideas there! You might want to submit that to HN if it hasn't seen a big discussion already.

- macgirvin 11y agoDecentralised identity and access control. Internet single sign-on (cross domain authentication). Nomadic identity (true identity clones on multiple servers because hobbyist websites tend to kack it fairly frequently and everybody has to start over making friends with all their friends again). Social networks which just pass messages back and forth and let you share/follow/whatever are doomed. Hubzilla may in fact be doomed but at least we aren't doing the same bloody thing as everybody else. Social networking is a very small part of what we do. You can take that away and we still have a viable project. Take social networking away from Diaspora and you've got bugger all.
