Robin Sloan has been drafting a new internet protocol that I suspect might be of some interest to people here. https://github.com/robinsloan/spring-83-spec

User-experience wise the way this is described reminds me of Fraidycat ( https://fraidyc.at/ ) - I quite like that sort of "look upon your personally curated surveillance network" system, so I'm definitely intrigued. 路 4 weeks ago
@degrowther2 Yeah I'm not totally convinced yet that this idea needs its own protocol but it's kinda neat. I might be keeping an eye on it. 路 4 weeks ago
@cobradile94 I guess it's a protocol in the same way that something like ActivityPub is a protocol. I haven't taken a very deep look at it yet, just read the initial announcement post and checked out the demo client for a few minutes. I like the comparison to a magazine rack. 路 4 weeks ago
When I first read this I have to admit that I didn鈥檛 see the appeal. But I am definitely willing to have my mind changed once I see some examples in the wild. The impulses are all well-aligned with how I want the internet to change, but the implementation doesn鈥檛 feel like the answer. 路 4 weeks ago
I鈥檓 confused? It seems all of the links to this protocol are still HTTPS. How is this a different protocol? 路 4 weeks ago
