Another approach to a new distributed social network: It turns out that git has practically everything that's needed to act both as storage and protocol for a social network. Not only that, but it's very well-known within and used, deployed and maintained in the circles I navigate, it scales very well (see github), it's used for critical infrastructure (see kernel.org ), it provides history, it's distributed by nature, etc. It's got almost everything, but not quite everything needed.
