Building a Different Type of Social Web

The chapter discusses the need to build a different type of social web, moving away from walled gardens and towards open protocols. The speaker reflects on the history of the internet and the shift from the early days of open protocols to the current dominance of a few companies. The chapter also mentions a paper that aimed to convince companies to adopt open protocols and shares the unexpected outcome of Jack Dorsey deciding to fund Blue Sky, which would lead to Twitter adopting it.
