The State of Solid for Social
The promise and premise of Solid can be boiled down to these core concepts:
The user retains control of their data as it is stored on their own pod instead of a centralized service
"Pods" are datastores that are under control of one user.
they can be hosted by the users themselves or part of managed hosting
It is a logical entity, not necessarily a single installation/server
if it is offline, the data is gone from the web, unless some cachine is implemented (not yet specified)
get your own here: https://inrupt.net/
Data can be linked across Pods, so the comment from A can point to the picture of B
These links also apply to people to map the social graph
The architecture makes it easy to use the data in different web services and to move from service to service.
Notifications ensure that these links become visible...

Ok but it sounds like the state of solid for g+ migration is that there's nothing there yet
ReplyDeleteChris Welty That's pretty much the story. Lots of promise, but not a safe bet presently.
ReplyDeleteTiming matters in these things.
Some good discussion of the work being done to support Solid in MeWe. forum.solidproject.org - Is Social Network, MeWe, Really Planning to Use Solid? - Connection to Other Initiatives - Solid Community Forum
ReplyDeleteBrian Holt Hawthorne Christian is the dude to follow on this. He's the host of #PlexodusWiki, and there's a little thing called the Darcy Project we're working on which relates to the larger picture as well.
ReplyDelete(Or rather, Christian's working on it while the rest of us are bogged down in other stuff, though it's all part of the same picture, really.)
Edward Morbius Not quite sure where or how to follow him...
ReplyDeleteBrian Holt Hawthorne Any way you can. What I'm saying is that he is the authority.
ReplyDeleteChristian Buggedei here.
here or on Pluspora: pluspora.com - Among those I usually converse with, I sometimes feel like a late-start to the whole online thing, but then I'm also connected to computer networks for a longer time than some Millenials are on earth. I do mobile advertising for a living, play games with oddly shaped dice and read all the books I can get. The list of social networks I can be found on is always up to date at https://www.buggedei.de/
ReplyDeleteChristian Buggedei Got it. Thanks!
