I'd like to see all my friends post updates and photos to blogs where I can subscribe via rss. This would be the best social network for me.

#53Why do all "social networks" have to be a feed of news? Couldn't anyone think of anything better than a system in which people are only encouraged to talk about themselves and try to get other people's approval? In which having more "friends" is always better, because you have more potential for self-agrandissement in your narcissistic posts?

#56I think that SPKI's name certs would be a good next step for this, so people could associate human-readable petnames with keys. C.f. http://theworld.com/~cme/spki.txt and RFCs 2692 & 2693.

Yeah that is what they were talking about when I was following the project. Once that is done in patchwork, I might try using it again.
It will be a must once mobile is launched, which I'm working on.

How about this: you buy a physical device at Wal-Mart for $29.99, plug it in, hook it up to your wifi and leave it plugged into an outlet. It's got Mastodon or GNU Social on it and could look like this, but branded: http://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/SmartPlu...
Then I have yet another device permanently plugged in and running, at a time where I and frankly all of us should try to reduce our energy consumption.

#60The storage requirements are tremendous, though, right? If I want to have access to everything that's been shared with me, I have to store it all. In the case of images, the storage burden can get large quickly.
