A solution to social media censorship would be to develop an open source protocol improving RSS, which I call RSS+.

Here is the structure of a current social media news feed :

Here is the structure of a current RSS feed :

And here is the structure of a proposed RSS+ feed :

The proposed RSS+ protocol would be a modification of RSS to include additional features like a list of RSS recommended addresses, an encrypted messaging add-on, a cryptocurrency add-on …

Here are more details :

each person would subscribe to a service supporting RSS+ . There are currently thousands of websites supporting RSS. It would just be an upgrade and it wouldn’t be possible to censor thousands of websites.

each person would then have easily access to an RSS+ address feed

an open source browser add-on (for firefox, chrome, …) would aggregate the RSS+ addresses chosen by the user

thanks to the additional features of comments and recommendations, users could add more and more RSS+ addresses

the interactions made possible by RSS+ additional features would make this browser add-on behave like a social network

this social network would be censor resistant, because each user would be responsible for maintaining its RSS+ address : no centralized censorship like in current social medias.
