Twitter co-founder and Block CEO Jack Dorsi is not just Vibi-Coding New Social Apps, such as Bichhat and Sun Day, he has invested $ 10 million in an attempt to fund practical open source projects and other equipment that can eventually change social media landscape.
These efforts are funnel through an online collective called “”And other goods, CashuAlex Glison, East Engineering head Social in truth; And Jeff gardnerFourth employee in Intercom.
Group originally found through cooperation DrugAn open, “Apolitical” social networking protocol, which has been attracting the attention of Daisi since the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk and his steps below the social network Blussky’s board. However, the team will also experiment with other equipment, such as activity, protocols that decentralized app mastodon and others along with the power to cache.
In recent years, Daisi has been more critical than how social media platforms have developed, saying that Twitter should never have been a company and that Blussky reiterated the mistakes made on Twitter.
Consequently, the team of “and other goods” is prescribed not to build the company, but instead it is acting like the “community of hackers”, describing Henshaw-Plath. Together, they are working to create techniques that can also include new consumer social apps. Various experiments, such as developer equipment or libraryThis will allow others to create an app for themselves.

Development in AI-based coding has made this type of experiment possible, Henshaw-Plat, in the same way that technologies like Ruby on Rails, Dijgo and JSON helped fuel an old version of the web, dubbed, dubbed Web 2.0,
Relative to these efforts, Henshaw-flat sat with Daisi for the first episode of his new podcast, Revolution. With @Rabble. (Henshaw-floth handle on X @Rabble,
Since the Dorsi lives in Costa Rica and Henshaw-Plath lives in New Zealand, both met in a hackthon in Switzerland for chat. In almost an hour-long episode, social media went wrong in the history of Dossey Twitter as well as their philosophy and how it can be corrected.
“It took me a long time to feel … I didn’t really put it in words until I returned as a CEO for the second time. But it is difficult for some company like (Twitter), because you have a corporate incentive when it wants to become a protocol,” says Dorsi. He notes that Twitter was at the mercy of his advertisers – despite taking Twitter, also faces some musk, which is now called X, Private. Even Musk has threatened advertisers with cases on advertising advertising boycott over the lack of advertisers and even controversial comments on the controversial comments.
While Daisi understands that food was perfect for advertisers for business and for the stock price of Twitter, it was “wrong for the Internet.”
“They can only withdraw money – your money – and your revenue goes completely down,” says about the power of dysentery advertisers. “So if (Twitter) was an open protocol, if it was actually an open project, you could make a business above it, and you can create a very healthy business on top of it.”
Daisi eventually made an attempt to create an open protocol inside Twitter, which later went out to become a blue. But Daisi believes that Bluusky faces the same challenges as traditional social media due to its structure – it is funded by VC, like other startups. Already, it has to bow to government requests and has faced moderation challenges, he explains.
“I think (CEO) J (Graber) of Bluuski is great. I think the team is great,” Daisi said to Henshaw-floth, “But the structure is what I disagree … I want to push the energy in a different direction, which is more like bitcoin, which is more than a protocol layer. In the corporate direction, even if it is a public benefit corporation, “Daisi is called.

Team “And other goods“Also working on one Social media “Bill of rights,“Henshaw-Plath says, which tells the social media platform Need to provide In areas such as privacy, security, difference, transparency, identity, self-government and portability.
This, they believe, will help the platforms, including Bluuski and others, remain accountable to their users despite any external pressure.
Dorsi’s initial investment has achieved and running a new non -profit organization, and he has worked on some of its early iOS apps. Meanwhile, other Android versions, developer tools and various social media experiments are contributing their time.
Henshaw-Plath says, still works.
“There are things that we are not yet ready to talk about, which will be very exciting,” he teases.
