Notes

RSS / Podcasts.

Zapier and Webhooks.

End users have control when they use their own domains.

Centralized search is going to be necessary.

RSS had a huge problem with bandwidth.

Identity and DNS are very important for maintaining control over one’s digial presence.

Domain of one’s own: https://www.reclaimhosting.com/domain-of-ones-own/

Owning your own domain - normalize paying for identity. It’s okay for it to cost a little bit. (because if you’re not paying, you’re the product)

Portable identity: use my identity to sign in to all accounts on the social web.

rel="me" links are usable by IndieAuth: https://indieauth.com/

IndieWeb principles: https://indieweb.org/principles

Also POSSE from IndieWeb: https://indieweb.org/POSSE

Nextcloud has an email frontend that’s getting pretty decent. You still need to host your inbox somewhere, but it supports IMAP, SMTP, and POP3

OpenID

OIX

OAuth

PKI

FOAF

Decentralized development is itself decentralized. How to we standardize this at the grassroots level?
