So with Capsule, each content creator will have their own website with their own address, something like. “Then for the mesh federation thing, we are just making HTTPS calls and then we have decentralized caching of databases and so on. “configure a server, they contact Let’s Encrypt to get you an SSL certificate, they use SQLite to create a serverless database … all the assets of the web server are inside the binary file. So your goal now goes through avoid the risk of a massive takedown of accounts or platforms through P2P microservices. Kobeissi claims that what happened in recent weeks (that Twitter censored thousands of accounts of Trump and his followers and that Parler was later taken down by his suppliers) demonstrates the importance of prevent big tech from lacking the capacity to make those kinds of decisions. “In front of Scuttlebutt or Urbit, I bet extreme ease of implementation: you execute a single command and you get a microblog with an HTTPS site which immediately becomes part of a mesh “. My proposal is strictly 1 user = 1 self-hosted microservice“. “Mastodon is simply self-hosted Twitter, with thousands of users on a single server, which makes it a target for removal. What makes Capsule different?īut Capsule is only, for now, one more in the long list of decentralized services (either through P2P or federated technologies) that have been proposed to restructure power structures in the field of social networks: we can cite examples such as Mastodon, Diaspora, Urbit or Scuttlebutt.īut Kobeissi claims that Capsule is something quite different from these other projects: Now, the calendar Capsule (name of your project, which already has a website), goes through having an MVP (minimum viable product) in the form of a web app for the month of March, which will give you the opportunity to start a round of raising seed capital with which to hire a staff and start developing mobile apps.
