   @eniko While I’m trying to build a bridge from the web of today to a peer web (https://ar.al/2024/06/24/small-web-computer-science-colloquium-at-university-of-groningen/), I’d highly welcome this. The more (non bullshit/not open to being co-opted) attempts at creating alternatives, the better.

   That said, my gut feeling is that any such protocol has to have a bit more functionality that Gemini (which is great) does if it’s to be an alternative for the sorts of social interactions/functionality people are used to having on the web.

   I’m happy to report that Small Technology Foundation and our Small Web¹ initiative with Kitten², Domain³, and Place⁴ will not be affected by the EU Commission cutting funding for ngi⁵ as we’ve never received a single euro cent from them to begin with.

   (Not for lack of trying.)

   @annaecook @hbuchel You can’t build solid stuff with unethical business models. The products of surveillance capitalists are complex because building planet-scale factory farms for human beings is complicated. If you removed the need to exploit and extract from people, the resulting tools would be radically simplified. e.g., see Kitten https://kitten.small-web.org and the Small Web https://ar.al/2024/06/24/small-web-computer-science-colloquium-at-university-of-groningen/ based on the Small Tech principles https://small-tech.org/about/#small-technology

   The feature is not fully functional yet (do not use it yet) but this is the first time it’s been possible to point a custom domain to a Small Web¹ place running a Kitten² app that was originally set up by Domain³.

   This upcoming feature (should have it fully operational tomorrow 🤞) alongside full backup + restore (already functional) = data portability.
