Maybe we getting back to the roots of the Internet with true decentralisation where the user/creator is in the centre.

Would be so nice to have a consolidated “archive” and view to personal stuff posted to multiple places.. It’s hard to keep track all the interaction in various channels, and impossible to follow someone across verticals (https://www.upcarta.com/).

I was thinking the other day about why everybody does not have a place to post their content and then the distro will be for various places with different UX and UI.

It’s so backwards that we go to other people’s places to post our content and then we do it over and over again, and at the end of the day may lose everything. Most of the time other people monetise our content and we are not even part of the deal.

Separating content from the context (representation) is oversimplification and part of the reason (e.g. Xitter posts work differently than IG or TikTok).

Yet, the personal depository of data is the most decentralised way. The communities are the verticals that bring the context. Allowing access to various distros flips the power dynamics if you can withdraw and opt out.

Text should be no different from (licensing) music, videos or other content.
