There is a "distributed knowledge network" we use called the "World Wide Web." It has an "experimental social network" powered by RSS, WebMention, and ActivityP

  Yes, I agree of course :) The Agora tries to be complementary to these efforts; I hope to be able to make it compatible with every open standard and semantic web project out there, in a way that makes said projects and standards available and useful to its users regardless of technical background. In a way I think of the Agora as a (hopefully) cheap open integration hub, targeting initially people that are maintaining blogs or notes repositories (a la [[roam]], [[foam]]) and would like to see them integrated within an extra ecosystem; but eventually moving on to the greater task of providing an alternative to some walled gardens. https://anagora.org/node/activitypub https://anagora.org/node/activitypub https://anagora.org/node/rdf https://anagora.org/node/rdf https://anagora.org/node/solid https://anagora.org/node/solid https://anagora.org/node/roam https://anagora.org/node/roam https://anagora.org/node/foam https://anagora.org/node/foam https://anagora.org/node/flanbook https://anagora.org/node/flanbook

  Everything is based on something that already existed. You could make the same comment about the web, RSS, WebMention, and ActivityPub (and everything else that's ever been). Why is this always the #1 post on every Show HN post? Oh, this is really just something else? FaceBook was just MySpace, which was just AOL. Google was just AltaVista. Amazon was just Barnes & Noble with a crappy website.
