   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]

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

     - 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
