Not going to happen. The majority of users are tech illiterate. They have no idea to set this up nor any desire to pay domain name fees and web hosting fees....

Only a few techies like us might do it but nothing more than that.

Plus it doesn't work the way they think. I already have a blog and occasionally post there and share it to social media. All the interaction, if there is any, happens on social, not on my blog.

Blogs are simply a place to post long form content but not designed for massive amount of replies and social interaction.

I mean, this is what the internet started out as; and I think we're slowly coming back around to it.

Anyone wanna join my webring? I mean...uhh...my fediverse? Or whatever?

For real, with the shitty state of modern search engines I'd love to see the return of webrings.

Some sort of reputation system with incentives to avoid low effort posts or spam perhaps?

I understand and obviously agree or else I wouldn't be vaguely gestures to everyone around him

But let's not live in fantasy land. Capitalism rules the internet and like it's old predecessor Feudalism there's one rule. Bigger Army (bank account) diplomacy. None of the other rules matter if you're big enough to write them. Nobody will willingly give up their level of control of the internet and everyone who takes it will do so with the objective of replacing them not dethroning

Open source will eventually create viable platforms, I'm not giving up until platforms successfully campaign to kill free alternatives

Hi from the stuff posting system.

If we decide to get shirts, they need to say "Stuff Posting System".
