Stepping back from POSSE

In retrospect, it should have been obvious that the commercial social network services would use the scourge of fake news to increase the barriers around their own silos. For example, "Facebook is shutting off API access to publish to profiles tomorrow." Others will probably follow. "From here on out," writes Ben Werdmuller, "I'm going to stop automatically syndicating anything, and will revert to manually posting... it's long past time to stop building code on top of centralized silos of content." I stopped using Facebook nearly two years ago, of course, though I still send OLDaily posts to Twitter. If and when that breaks, I probably won't try to fix it.
