I would love to read an analysis of how well this project satisfies the vision of a decentralized social media architecture. I might not be able to get around to doing such an analysis myself for a while.

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/…

Here's a diagram explaining the architecture of a typical interaction lifecycle. Each person is using different apps and different software for their websites, a key aspect to a truly decentralized and robust network.

I’m quite aware that these are not new ideas. Lots of people have been talking about this sort of thing for years. It’s cool IndieWeb has made a start. Pretty exciting! I would like to learn more. Have you worked on my (4) and (5) at all, to make old nets forward-compatible?

Yeah basically 4 and 5 are covered by the idea of POSSE indieweb.org/POSSE but it works the opposite direction. I'm writing this on my website, and it gets automatically copied to Twitter. I also am reading your replies in Monocle, my reader app.
