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
