#SocialMedia #FederatedMedia #Decentralization #POSSE #Twitter #Mastodon #Threads #Bluesky: "The short-term solution to these problems is a little-known acronym called POSSE. Short for Post (on) Own Site Syndicate Elsewhere, it’s not a protocol or even a piece of software, but rather a philosophy. Rather than publishing a post onto someone else’s servers on Twitter or Mastodon or Bluesky or Threads or whichever microblogging service will inevitably come along next, the posts are published locally to a service you control.d At that point, the rest is simple (if not easy): plugging in whichever social media sites you desire, and syndicating the posts through them either by copying the post there directly, or publishing a snippet with a link back to the original source.

The next time a new social media site comes along, you can plug it in to your existing system. And the next time a social media site dies or becomes untenable, you just disconnect it. With this model, even when a platform goes under, you lose relatively little: your posts still remain live and under your control on your site, even if the copies of them on the disconnected website are abandoned or deleted. And ideally, friends who followed you on the disconnected platform will know where to find your personal site, and they can either follow you theree or follow you on any of the other platforms where you syndicate."

You know what would be really cool? Plex, but federated and open source.

I like that Plex lets users bring their own media servers/libraries to share with friends all with a single account. Except it’s a centralized platform and as the last year has shown, their for-profit interests push development of their first party streaming channels and the media server side has suffered.

I want to see something truly democratize that experience. Let friends connect together from their own servers and have the experience of a single super library. One viewing/browsing experience, and no matter which friend has that movie or tv show episode you can seamlessly watch it.
