Summary

  • add exploration 0116 on architecting a decentralized Twitter/X-style network on xNet
  • detail timeline serving, hybrid fanout, customizable timeline lenses, localized discovery/search/trending, incentives, and high availability
  • connect the design to xNet nodes as canonical truth, xNet authz, and the earlier decentralized search exploration

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added comprehensive architectural exploration documentation outlining a decentralized social platform design, including system architecture, data modeling, timeline and feed algorithms, discovery and search mechanisms, moderation strategies, and operational guidance with implementation phases and validation checklists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new documentation exploration file is added describing an end-to-end decentralized Twitter/X architecture built on xNet primitives. The document specifies system design separating canonical speech and graph nodes from derived reach services, proposes an xNet-native social data model, defines service layers for timelines and discovery, and provides operational guidance.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Decentralized Social Architecture Exploration
docs/explorations/0116_[_]_ARCHITECTING_DECENTRALIZED_TWITTER_X_ON_XNET.md
New documentation file (+1572 lines) detailing a complete decentralized social network architecture, including system thesis, data models (profiles, posts, graph edges), hybrid fanout policies for timeline serving, service architecture for discovery and search, moderation framework, authorization mappings, and operational deployment guidance with Mermaid diagrams.

Poem

🐰 A whisker-twitch of architecture grand,
Decentralized speech across the land,
Where timelines flow like clover streams,
And graphs compose our social dreams,
xNet native—no single hand commands! 🌐✨
