DWeb Community: Welcome to 2020! Time to learn and share more about decentralized technologies!

Last year ended with an unexpected tweet from Twitter Founder, Jack Dorsey, saying Twitter was funding a new team to build and open decentralized standard for Social Media.

What's state of the art today?
Come meet founders and thought leaders who are building decentralized Social Media apps:

--Evan Henshaw-Plath, founder of Planetary, a decentralized social media platform built on scuttlebutt as an open protocol. It's ready for test flights and it's founder, also known as Rabble, (https://twitter.com/rabble) calls Planetary the "humane alternative to Facebook."

--Edward West, founder & CEO of Hylo, an app that combines group management, messaging and collaboration built on holochain.

--Matthew Hodgson, founder of Matrix the open source protocol upon which the Riot chat app runs.

--Burak Nehbit, founder & CEO of Aether (https://getaether.net) a peer-to-peer network of self-governing, interest-based communities who elect their own moderators. It's inspired by Usenet and Reddit, but unlike them, it also attempts to provide not only a platform, but also high-quality discussion on an ongoing basis.'

--John Patrick Ryan, tech executive & writer, (https://twitter.com/johnconorryan) will share his new thought piece: "Decentralizing: Beyond Walled Gardens."

--Jay Graber, developer & writer, (https://twitter.com/arcalinea) will present her overview of decentralized social media.
