We would need some sort of aggregator. Currently, you could call Facebook an aggregator of personal websites. Of course all of the personal websites are also hosted there, but it technically is an aggregator of those webpages. Let's not forget most of the people that I am friends with on Facebook would never be able to create their own personal website without a lot of help which is what makes something like Facebook so convenient and popular.
- zanny 8y ago> We would need some sort of aggregator. It could be a protocol, independent of the browser. But the browser could support it inline, so you could just click a button to follow a content stream. It shouldn't be complex, it should be simple. Really simple. Syndication.
- masterdrift 8y agoOpen source social media dashboard? That way you could still use all the traditional social media apps without being reliant on any single one.
- asdff 8y agoSeveral years ago facebook gutted a lot of RSS features. You used to be able to follow your notifications via RSS, but that went away when facebook realized people wouldn't stay on the site as long.
- masterdrift 8y agoIs there no possible workaround? Zapier supports custom RSS feeds from popular social media sites, so it's definitely not impossible.
