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!

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:

  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/I…

  Those specs are arguably not the best introduction to the concepts which is why I linked the blog post instead 😊

  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!

  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.

  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.
