Software shapes the feel of a social space. Just think of everyone who’s so into Gemini – or on the other side, how Reddit feels a bit unclean… anyway, this software may have been inspired by chan boards, but in the incarnation of it I know, it has a wonderful vibe. I just found out it’s not some old thing repurposed, but an open source project under (newly active) development.

    This makes me think about how recently I was thinking about whether or not it would be possible to build a social network on Email.

    Email really hasn’t changed in quite a long time, maybe it was meant to evolve.

    Other technologies I would look into would be jsonfeed.org or building a reader on Gemini and splitting viewing images / videos to https and posting to something else.
