DNSocial

DNSocial is a truly decentralized social media protocol that works by posting directly to DNS.

The protocol:

• Any domain or subdomain is a feed. Say posts.example.com
• Posts for that feed are TXT records for sequential subdomains starting from 1. eg. 1.posts.example.com, 2.posts.example.com
• To subscribe to a feed, continuously poll for the next integer subdomain until a TXT record is received.

Usage

Get an API key and store it in plain text in a JSON file like

{
  "key": "KEY",
  "secret": "SECRET"
}

post using the dns_post function:

dns_post -d posts.example.com -p "I am posting!"

Subscribe using the dns_subscribe function:

dns_subscribe -d posts.example.com
