DWeb SF Meetup--January: explores Decentralized Social Media
Next Tuesday: it's all about building better social media
When Twitter's founder, Jack Dorsey, announced: Twitter is funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard.
that grabbed our attention. What about the decentralized, open standards that are already in use? Come meet the founders and researchers working on decentralized social media at January's SF DWeb Meet Up-- Tuesday, January 21 from 6-9 pm at the Internet Archive. We'll show you new approaches to taking back control of your data. Up this month:
- 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.
