when people describe what they want for social media what i usually end up hearing is

[contacts list that uses something that looks like carrrd]
x [webhost + RSS]
x [account blocking]

- you can do 'retweets' via RSS,
- you can do 'only see who i follow'
- you can do 'only publish to some people' (subscriber-only feeds, though they are hacks)
- you can share arbitrary length things and arbitrary filetypes through rss
- the posts are yours because they live on your blog or whatever

you just need a contacts list that lets the magic happen. I don't have the cycles to go deep on it.

a lot of people derisively say "you are describing RSS"

instead I'm pointing at inspiration

@NireBryce you can do them with Atom. RSS doesn't have the source: element to say where it's reposted from ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287.html#sect

@NireBryce @drwho We just left that. It was called OStatus. And we notified servers about new posts with a protocol called Salmon

The entire OStatus network converted to ActivityPub, essentially.
