If you’re at #DWebCamp2022 and want to chat about decentralized social media @manasilvora and I are hosting a talk tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM in the redwood cathedral. For those not in the forest, we’ve compiled a reading list as a community resource. tinyurl.com/dwebsocial

Some highlights from the list...

@LizHagelthorn takes a critical look at current deficiencies in true ownership in web3 and provides design guidelines to further empower media owners and creators

This @WIRED article from 2017 evaluates decentralized social media attempts and calls out the tension between the freedoms and responsibilities of true ownership on the web wired.com/story/decentra…

“Of Prosocial Value” from @KERNEL0x asks how we might design more positive-sum, sustainable systems to support healthy communities that allow us to collectively flourish kernel.community/en/learn/modul…

In “The right to never be forgotten” @antoniogm explores the current state of data transparency and immutability in web3 as we put more and more of our social data on chain thepullrequest.com/p/the-right-to…

Next up, @varunsrin discerns what level of decentralization is needed in social networking, highlighting the difficulty and undesirability of putting too much data on chain varunsrinivasan.com/2022/01/11/suf…

ps @varunsrin’s assertion that “Offering a product experience that doesn’t yet exist is far more compelling than a clone of an existing network” is exactly why I’m so excited about what @neuroswish is building, stay tuned

Lastly, a compelling reminder from the #DWebCamp2022 organizers that our creations reflect the minds and hearts that build them. This is especially important when designing systems for social connection.
