In exploring potential decentralized social media platforms, I recently discovered something called TWTXT: decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers. That's right up this blog's alley! But how is twtxt even pronounced? I say "twi-text", and think of the protocol like an extremely reduced (minimalism!) Twitter implemented as textfiles (nostalgia!). And being a simple textfile is key. There's really no need for a server to process requests beyond serving static files. This does mean it's not a full featured social network though, and probably never can be.
