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?

Building @farquest, wield.xyz, investing @ miy.com - previously Meta, Coinbase // cryptojcdenton.twitter // FID #251

practically one or a few people will disagree enough to build something new, the the majority won't be doing the 'forking' themselves but just migrating to follow community leaders

'villainess' doesn't do justice to my complexity, and only reveals your simplicity 

any OSS project that truly 'forks' builds something new, you can argue that mastodon and @dwr.eth have 'forked' twitter client design etc 

mastodon does almost exactly what you're describing and i really struggle to classify turning up your own instance as forking

Why do they need to build something new, if I don't like linux, I can fork it, isn't that why there's so many versions? 😄
