Presumably it would just have dudes who write the protocol and then other people could write front ends for it and somehow it would provide you with blocking tools or whatever to janny your own experience with it. Like qbittorrent but for chatting instead of stealing game of thrones.
Is it technically impossible, or technically a pain in the ass, or there's no way to make money off it, or just that nobody wants to give up being servermaster of mount internet, or what?
Could it not usefully be made anonymous, like would you necessarily have to expose your IP to everyone else or some bullshit so it'd just be a big dox machine?
So far the best anyone's done is federation, which still leaves you with the fundamental flaw of 1 admin -> X thousand users that makes every website kinda inherently shitty.
Nothing against whoever runs this website personally, he or she is probably better than most people who run websites, I'm just saying the model of one person running a given website used by thousands of people means the person running it is going to be an asshole to someone because no human with authority over enough people can resist being an asshole to some of them.
Like THE FUCKING BUDDHA could maybe do it but you probably don't get a lot of software written when you're the buddha and above all material things.
So in lieu of that it seems like it would be great to have some sort of social networking platform that inherently takes that decision out of anyone's control, if that were both possible and also not ridiculously difficult, which admittedly I don't know whether it is.
