A little-known group of interoperable social networks has been growing in private for years, but now that the engineer behind Twitter’s pilot, Evan Henshaw-Plath has joined the fray, the parallel universe is verging on mainstream.
Evan"Rabble" Henshaw-Plath, poses the MIT Media lab in October 2022, where he spoke about decentralized social media at the Imagination In Action Event, co-hosted by Link Ventures, MIT Connection Science and Forbes.When Twitter emerged in 2006, with its revolutionary 140-character microblogging platform, it didn’t take long for it to grow into the most powerful force in global information transmission.
“And those corporations, if they're smart, will move to models they can control the economic model a little bit more.” Dorsey, who is now on the Bluesky board, left as CEO of Twitter in 2021 and neither he nor the company he co-founded replied to multiple requests to speak withDanny O'Brien, senior fellow of the Filecoin Foundation, Planetary founder, Evan Henshaw-Plath and Christine Lemmer-Webber, CTO of the Spritely Institute, at the DWeb Camp in August 2022.
Henshaw-Plath started looking for alternatives. “Eventually,” he says, “I discovered a protocol created by this guy who lives on a sailboat in New Zealand.” Joining Henshaw-Plath at the Redwoods camp, called DWeb, were 14 other Scuttlebutt developers–including those from the Manyverse social network, designed for free-speech purists, and the Maori social network Āhau. While Manyverse is largely funded by a grant from the European Union and donor support and Āhau by tribal money and other sources, Henshaw-Plath is going a more traditional route.
