People would have to be nuts to build anything on his platform after he killed all third party Twitter clients and ruined the Twitter API. That's not how you build trust.

I'm real sorry to say, I'm going to be closing down this project in the very near future.

I'm very sorry to read this, because I was a huge fan of Beaker Browser's approach to decentralizing publishing. I preferred Dat/Hypercore over IPFS because IPFS is being promoting alongside Filecoin and other cryptocurrencies by crypto shills.

https://agregore.mauve.moe/ seems like a plausible successor, but it supports IPFS as well and I don't want to have anything to do with IPFS. I've lost my enthusiasm for this space as web3 turning everything into financial instruments and MLM schemes has come to dominate discussions of "decentralization".

Y'all might find this interesting, Littr.me is designed to host each "subreddit" on its own instance and federate between them. MIT-licensed code is here: https://github.com/mariusor/littr.go

It uses ActivityPub libraries written in Go: https://github.com/go-ap/
