I was frustrated seeing more and more local businesses or media companies moving to closed social networks while letting their open websites become deserted. Interesting information became not just harder to find, all my interactions are now monitored and analyzed. Ideally, social networks should just be "like the WWW". There are multiple proposals for decentralized social networks like Diaspora, ActivityPub, AT Protocol or SSB. Interestingly, all of them are using either a federated or a peer-to-peer architecture, but none so far the IMHO obvious approach – like the WWW. SPXP instead uses a client / server architecture and radically pushes power into endpoint devices, giving users and content creators full control.
