POSSE: Reclaiming social media in a fragmented world
citationneeded.news Posse: Reclaiming social media in a fragmented world |
AI summary of the linked articlePOSSE (Post on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) is presented as a short-term answer to the problem of social platforms dying or becoming untenable, with posts published first on a site the writer controls and then syndicated to other services. The author describes syndicating posts from a personal website to Twitter, Mastodon, and Bluesky, and says that if a platform shuts down, the posts remain live on the author's own site. The article also says POSSE expands publishing options beyond limits such as Bluesky's 300-character cap, but notes that replies stay siloed on each platform and that the software ecosystem around POSSE is thin. |
2 comments mishaSubmitter Bluesky is working on its own federation protocol called AT Proto, which is not interoperable with ActivityPub. I didn’t know that, another protocol. Call it decentralization ;) mishaSubmitter btw Firefly is working on something similar as POSSE, but more from a web3 approach https://firefly.social/ |
