Excited to announce our collaboration with @ipfs.tech and https://dasl.ing on two new standards for the next thousand years of decentralized social video: S2PA and MUXL! Together they give us a standard for self-certifying and content-addressable media in the decentralized social ecosystem.

also is it just me or is Discover feed really bad with finding relevant content to my interests?

somebody should label all tweets with videos/photos/screenshots of trump so I can mute them altogether. Very annoyed by them
