Thinking about a network state protocol that allows you to fork communities when you disagree. Many communities today are run by a leadership which safeguard their setup (e.g. private software and heavy moderation).

Thoughts on a protocol designed for easy exit and fork of communities, like a fork button?

They can bury me deep, but I always grow back.

In each of these forks the community leaders had to build there own software, and start with their own data.

Imagine if I could press fork on reddit, and I'll get a copy of whatever subreddits I want, and I can self-host it.

Building far.quest & wield.xyz, angel investing @ miy.com // Previously Meta, Coinbase // cryptojcdenton.twitter // FID #251

also practically the super client / network will have content moderation standards they mandate if you want to use their data (which truly portable followers solves a bit for)

a practical example:

the super network/client says no transphobia, their moderators interpret this as banning anyone who says 'transwomen are biological men'

a moderator of an instance/hub/whatever doesn't consider that transphobia, they aren't left with any other choice but building their own network / client / etc

Yes, the host of data still needs to moderate, which is why you should be able to self-host 😄
