- Org-social is a decentralized social network based on Org Mode files over HTTP.
- Users can create a social.org file with metadata like TITLE, NICK, DESCRIPTION, AVATAR, and FOLLOW entries.
- Posts are added under the * Posts section with unique ID timestamps in ISO 8601 format.
- Supports replies, mentions, polls, rich formatting, and media links using Org Mode syntax.
- No registration or databases required—just a text file hosted on a web server.
- Inspired by twtxt, Texudus, and Yarn community extensions, emphasizing simplicity and decentralization.
- Key values: Simplicity, Accessibility, Decentralization, and Org Philosophy.
- Posts can include metadata like LANG, TAGS, CONTENT_WARNING, CLIENT, REPLY_TO, and MOOD.
- Polls use Org Mode checkbox lists with POLL_END and POLL_OPTION properties.
- Discovery of new users is decentralized, similar to email or RSS feeds.
