⚠️PLEASE BOOST⚠️ Do you want a better Internet? Help the people who make it happen!

@cwebber co-authored #ActivityPub, the protocol that makes Mastodon happen. It's what allows different Fediverse instances to talk to each other, preventing another Elon Musk from happening.

Now she's building @spritelyinst, a FOSS distributed programming platform. The mission: social media done right.

Help her build a better Internet! #DonateFriday https://spritely.institute/

What makes @spritelyinst such revolutionary tech is the concept of "Goblins": a distributed object programming environment. Spritely Goblins' network layer means users can perform asynchronous programming against objects that live anywhere. #DonateFriday https://spritely.institute/goblins/

Here's a demo of a chat app written with Goblins distributed programming features. What @cwebber and @spritelyinst are building isn't faraway into the future, much of this is happening now!

Some interesting things happening here:

* The two participants are speaking over a peer to peer network
* Communication is end-to-end encrypted
* The entire chat app is written in a mere 154 lines of code

This could be huge! #DonateFriday
