Twitter’s decentralized social network project finally has a leader
- machinecontrol 5y agoCan’t help but fear this is a classic embrace-extend-extinguish pattern for open social networking protocols.
- estranhosidade 5y agoI fully agree with you. I'm absolute skeptic about anything Facebook and Twitter and other multi-billion dollar tech companies support. Especially because, the whole project of a decentralized social network, if this succeeded, and really became mainstream, these same companies would loose A LOT of power. It would be easier to compete with them, they would lose their role as being the gate keeper of acceptable debate on a huge part of the internet, so there's a huge down scepticism from my part, thinking "they will find some way to taint and contaminate this whole project... somehow". Twitter would never actually embrace this idea, certainly voluntarily.
- riffic 5y agoit'd be a sign of good faith if Jay/the team could at least adopt a presence on the existing decentralized/federated social networking system recommended by the W3C. Like, at the minimum they can stand up a WordPress blog and use a plugin to do so from their own domain. I'm not holding my breath in the meantime.
- estranhosidade 5y agoHell, they could at least offer RSS support to twitter.
