#TIL about #PolyProto;
"a protocol describing decentralized, federated data exchange using tried and true concepts ... Messages or posts you've sent in the past can be trivially migrated to a new account. This means: no more losing friends or followers if your old homeserver sunsets. Feel free to migrate to another homeserver at any time, even if your old homeserver has shut down ages ago."
Seems like a very new project, but this is an intriguing set of goals.

I'm impressed that the PolyProto devs have followed the Kalashnikov Principle. Their blog has a very thorough review of existing projects adjacent to what they're trying to create, and their pros and cons;

Definitely aware of the risk of reinventing the wheel.
