There was once a dream of a decentralised web.

As recently as a decade ago we had a still very active blogosphere, connected via blogrolls and RSS. Specialised web forums were still mainstream and messenger apps could largely interoperate.

Centralised social media slowly ate that dream. It had plenty of positives, but it pulled more and more people away from the open web and into corporate walled gardens.

Some people kept the dream of decentralisation alive. And now you are here.

@tomw gosh, I do miss rss feed readers. I know we can still use them, but it's not the same. Here's hoping they make a return.
@TheCurbau Yeah, the huge scale of #wordpress use is the main thing keeping RSS (just about) going - a lot of sites that don't mention support anywhere do still support it, probably without knowing in a lot of cases
