- yosito 6y agoPOSSE is a great model. One of the problems is that there is no platform that reduces the friction of implementation. I have the technical ability to implement this myself on my own website, but I don't have the free time to set it all up and maintain all of the integrations with various platforms. And syndication is the creation side of the problem, but on the consumption side there's the issue of aggregating your friend's posts on other platforms into one place so you can keep up with everyone without remembering to check several different websites. That's arguably the more challenging part of making this model work at scale, and social networks actively prevent this by blocking API access and making it difficult to programmaticly access data within their platforms. I can't even subscribe to 2/3 of my content sources via RSS anymore.
