Notes

The dominance of Facebook is a democratic problem. Our only hope is to use the same tactic the internet used to win against the networks of the time: Open up for collaboration between networks. This is done through federation. Here is how and why it will work, and how you can help.

Notes

"I am in no way saying that AtomPub is the solution. What I am pointing out is that if you want federation then you need to design your protocols and APIs RESTfully. In this example it is hypertext, link following, in the AtomPub spec that allows these two separate services to be linked together."
