@charlesesmith @atpfm I think a path forward is ActivityPub as a common protocol. It has some room to evolve to be more network efficient to scale well first. But if Tumblr, Flickr, Micro.blog, Mastodon, and others adopt a common protocol we can build out a post sharing ecosystem. Nb: this doesn’t solve content moderation or legal liabilities. This is where companies come in—providing that value atop a common protocol. (Like email providers and spam filtering sort of)
