Been brainstorming on a new concept(*) of "social network" based on ego graphs:
Everyone has their own "bubble": a network that they control through who they add/remove as friends (and who these friends add, and so on).
If someone is in your bubble, you're in their bubble.
Everything you post in your bubble, and everything people reply, is visible to everyone in your bubble (and no one else).
You keep multiple bubbles along different themes ("friends", "family" etc)

Crucially, everything about this is fully e2e encrypted and decentralised: your account is a crypto key, and you are mainly responsible for keeping the list of people you are "friends" with. 3rd party servers act as dumb "mailbox" relays (to make up for the fact that most people's devices aren't always online or can't easily work as p2p), but only store fully encrypted payloads, and can theoretically be replaced by any other system. 2/ 🧵 #e2ee #crypto #security #decentralized #p2p
