True everywhere, on/offline: "One set of rules for sociality just doesn’t work,”
@blaine told @ricmac "There’s always going to be differences of opinion, so the federated model gives us the ability to have different communities...rules...cultures online. And that's just admitting there are humans in the loop, really.”

@annecollier @blaine @ricmac There is an amazing decentralised experimental social network called TAGGR. It's built on the Internet Computer and runs WASM. I really like it. https://taggr.top/.

@treb0r @blaine @ricmac Have heard of it too but still grieving the loss due to #twittermigration of my large, formerly vibrant community of researchers, educators and NGOs. It's not decentralized, is it? Is it anything like Post and Spill, other destinations for community dispersal?

@annecollier @blaine @ricmac Yes it is decentralised. It's built on the Internet Computer blockchain. It's experimental and fairly new so there are not many people on it at present but I think it really does show great promise.
