I don't want a new social network. I want Web tech to be accessible enough that even the least experienced computer user can have their own website with RSS feed, IM over XMPP, group chat using IRC, and secure, spam-free email.
I want to the internet itself to be a social network using open, standardized protocols that have been proven to work.
- buboard 7y agoif you figure a way to remove spam, all the old protocols can be popular again.
- simplecomplex 7y agoHuh? There is no spam with RSS or IM. The user chooses what to consume. And spam is a solved problem with email.
- buboard 7y agoif you inevitably tried to build an RSS directory or search engine, there would be spam. IM is already full of spam, like IRC and email > And spam is a solved problem with email. you mean, with centralized online mail services
- feralhog 7y agoDo you not think these things already exist? Seems like what you're asking for is solved. But o could be missing something
- Porthos9K 7y agoThe tech exists, but the average schmuck has no idea how to use it, so it might as well not exist.
- feralhog 7y agoFair enough
- krapp 7y agoPlenty of average schmucks managed in the early days, though. Granted, it was through services like Geocities and Tripod, no one was building their own server by intstalling and configuring Linux through a VM or anything, but "having your own website" has never been that complicated.
