We need an open standard for blogs, like email or news servers. Everyone publishes on their own server of choice and it gets fully replicated through API from server to server -- who ever subscribe to whom.
Banned from a server? Post on another one or your own server from where subscribers will pull your posts. Digital signatures for validation.
Publishing the specs will suffice. As developers can come up with various implementations based on it.

- deregulateMed 5y agoEmail has a spam issue. Lots of junk. Lots of false positives for spam.
- habibur 5y agoYou subscribe to servers or users that you like to follow. Similar to Twitter/FB. Unsubscribe those that you don't like or are spammy.

- Taek 5y agoThe reality is that we aren't very close to a world where everyone runs their own servers. Maybe we'll get there some day, but that feels at least a decade away. We built an alternative platform called Skynet, which allows anyone to host decentralized webapps like blogs, or even more advanced things like chess tournaments. There's a design pattern called a DAC that makes it easy for multiple frontends to use the same data, without anyone needing to learn a data spec.
