@waffles Coincidentally I've been doing a bit of light social media stuff using org-social¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ in the past few weeks, which is basically a single org-mode text file served over HTTPS. Feeds are pulled together via aggregation, or on the client side. Super-simple niche networks like this are so much fun!!
