I think I’ve figured out the broad strategy for how to decentralize social media. How do we get people using new, better networks? Here’s how! My latest: larrysanger.org/2019/02/how-… #socialmedia #facebook #twitter #foss #blockchain @Everipedia #decentralization #privacy

You should come check out what we're doing on the #IndieWeb, it's basically exactly this, built with many W3C standards! Here's a writeup about my current social media experience, I stopped using Twitter ages ago: aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/…

hmm I don't think I understand, there's already a page but it appears to be a copy of the Wikipedia page, which isn't actually a very good description everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/…

Neat! Do you have to use indieweb.com in order to “join the movement”? If so, it’s not decentralized. And it also needs independent standards, or it won’t have the ultimate effect—it’d remain a front end to existing services. Anyway, I will definitely read up on this.

You don't need to explain decentralization to me ;-) I am literally the author of several W3C specs that are being used to build decentralized social networks! w3.org/TR/webmention/ w3.org/TR/micropub/ w3.org/TR/websub/ w3.org/TR/indieauth/
