Decentralization and open source. #444

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am frustrated that Twitter is not completely open and decentralized. Truth is an example of a decentralized social network that is open and decentralized

Describe the solution you'd like Rewrite/Base Twitter off of the ActivityHub standard and open it under a fairly permissive license.

Describe alternatives you've considered Open source the entire twitter code, as is but that would probably be too hard, if not impossible, due to Twitter probably containing some proprietary non-standard commercial libs.

Additional context N/A. Enjoy your day, and please don't feed the trolls.

TheSkyIsLookingGood, I see that thumbs down... I respect your opinion. However, might I add that you maybe have the wrong idea? Because just flat out saying "Nobody needs this" (#446 ) is like saying "Nobody needs open standards and open source", it's just wrong.

Also, please note that this is a serious request. No trolling here.
