Well that got the attention of the Decentralized Web world. What is the current state-of-art for decentralized social media? This month we'll hear from some thought leaders and founders of social media built on core decentralized protocols. Speakers this month include:
-
Evan Henshaw-Plath, founder of Planetary, a decentralized social media platform built on scuttlebutt as an open protocol. It's ready for test flights and it's founder, also known as Rabble, (https://twitter.com/rabble) calls Planetary the "humane alternative to Facebook."
-
Edward West, founder & CEO of Hylo, an app that combines group management, messaging and collaboration built on holochain.
-
Matthew Hodgson, founder of Matrix the open source protocol upon which the Riot chat app runs.
-
Burak Nehbit, founder & CEO of Aether, a peer-to-peer network of self-governing, interest-based communities who elect their own moderators. It's inspired by Usenet and Reddit, but unlike them, it also attempts to provide not only a platform, but also high-quality discussion on an ongoing basis.'
-
John Patrick Ryan, tech executive & writer, (https://twitter.com/johnconorryan) will share his new thought piece: "Decentralizing: Beyond Walled Gardens." https://medium.com/decentralized-web/decentralizing-ending-walled-gardens-6f0d4a8b4e98
-
Jay Graber, (https://twitter.com/arcalinea) developer & writer & founder of https://happening.net will present her overview of decentralized social media.
We'll also gather at the Internet Archive for pizza, networking, and lightning talks. Share your technology, look for partners, build your community. Be inspired!
