The Post-Platform Social Network

November 3, 2026 · 50 min

Show notes

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider what social media and networking look like when we can no longer use platforms provided by any company, and have to roll our own. This future is inevitable, and you need to prepare for it. In the news, America is having its election, AO3 got hacked, Binance got hacked, European grocery stores got hacked, and Mercado got hacked.
