We might be seeing the beginning of crowdsourcing a fan-run social network of our own.

“FANDOM: @Pinboard, who I would trust with the
entire internet, is working with @pearwaldorf to spec out the kind of
fandom social media platform we would all like to build. Please check
the spec doc out, contribute, and circulate it!”

Opening
to the doc: “Hi! I made a tweet, and then Maciej Ceglowski DMed me and
said if fandom (I realize this is not going to be all parts of fandom)
could come to a consensus about what such a platform should look like,
he said he’d see what he can do.”

Reading through this, I am
quickly seeing congeal a genuinely functional, thoughtful wishlist of
functionality for a social network made by fans for fans–with multiple
potential approaches to make them happen, some of
which are looking to me, admittedly a coding dilettante though a tech
professional, eminently
possible.

Pay attention. Boost it. Contribute if you can. Go
ahead and copy this post and put it other places. Something serious may
be happening here.
