You have one; it’s called “the internet.”
No one is asking for a universal protocol or language to share cat pics.
Technocrats want to provide the next unicorn that captures attention thereby making a new centralized system.
I use Go, net/http, and oh look, I can share state across the internet.
In physics electromagnetism came together after ditching all the literal knobs and pulleys used prior to get a handle on the behaviors.
IMO computer science needs to do that too; it’s creating tons of jargon as if there’s anything more than electron state in a machine that actually exists.
The simplest option is change laws to require ISPs provide a static IP on request. Then all of jacks goals can be met without over engineering another protocol.
- CGamesPlay 4y agoWhat's the Go method to upvote a content and how do other federated endpoints receive that signal? Or are you telling me to build it myself, in which case... yeah, that's what this thread is about?

- bayindirh 4y agoIt's not Go's duty to provide this capability. Internet, more specifically HTTP has breed many methods to do this over the years. Current iteration is APIs and their different flavors. Before that we had cgi, HTTP forms and other ways. You can notify your federated peers via XMPP, if you wish.
- rektide 4y agoThe internet is an ever expanding series of interoperable protocols. The ask here, that we start to define shared standards for more already-well-known-to-humankind but-so-far-often-proprietary/not-standardized means of information-exchange seems remarkably pedestrian. I'm not sure what has you so fired up against it?
- throwaway290 4y agoStandardizing social interactions between humans and making them persistent is great if you want to collect and process this data in bulk, which is appealing to SV capital. It is negative value to actual people who often want to communicate spontaneously and transiently and who already have lots of open information exchange standards at their disposal already and can just... use them.
