I continue to talk about Feediverse
As I said about Feediverse yesterday.
Today I'm very excited to know Dave continued to share.
He shared RSS.chat.
It's real, not a demo.
In my opinion, Feediverse will be a federated social network among RSS readers.
The website only needs RSS.
The social layer and federated protocol belong to the readers.
Users can have accounts to read and follow others. Following others lets them know which sites' RSS feeds they are following.
If users want to add new posts, they can't post like Facebook statuses.
Instead, they write blog posts on their own websites and syndicate them via RSS.
They subscribe to their own sites via RSS in the reader.
Their new blog posts will appear on the River of News in the reader.
That's my opinion about Dave's intentions based on his blog posts.
He hasn't officially announced anything yet.
He also hasn't written the specification.
Dave's way is typically to write specifications, implement them, and then the ecosystem gradually emerges.
We'll just have to wait and see.
If Feediverse succeeds, this will be a next step for the Social Web.
The website only needs to be published, then distributed via RSS.
The content will then be further distributed to Feediverse.
This aligns perfectly with the original vision of the Open Web.
