@mckinley@twtxt.net @adi@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I think one thing that keeps bringing me back is the fact that this is such a simple protocol/format. I feel like it could easily capture the imaginations of many devs. I think one of the problems with other decentralized/distributed social networks is that they are built on tech that might seem impenetrable to your average dev.
@prologic@twtxt.net (#bkydgsq) I agree the underlying web infra is definitely decentralized. However, I think we can agree that there is a trend towards centralization for services built on top of that decentralized infra. I’m okay with someone else hosting stuff for me as long as I control my data—meaning I “pack up and move” somewhere else without much effort. I think this type of web would make most of the Twitter/Facebook controversy moot. I think it could actually result in a more fairly moderated web as well.
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh that’s awesome! Let me know when you launch (or if you already have)! I definitely am like minded in that I think there are entrepreneurial opportunities in this space. I think you may be further than me—as I’m still looking.
