Comment IndieWeb & Interoperable Online Communities (Score 1) 310
Can't agree more. Personal websites (e.g. IndieWeb) and interoperable online communities are the way to go to replace Facebook with a distributed approach. That's why we started Grou.ps (http://grou.ps/) an open source online community builder Grou.ps just a week ago. It's all open source, the code is on Github, it is written with IndieWeb (https://indieweb.org/) standards built-in. Everyone is welcome to create their own community and contribute to the source code. As for personal websites, we're good, Wordpress and Jekyll are both good open source solutions. As an example, my personal website https://emresokullu.com/ is just one, it follows h-card rules, and once I add "follow/friend" feature to it, it will turn into a functional node in the distributed open source utopia. More of us should do that, and make this a reality.
