The Noosphere Protocol is part of an effort to bootstrap a new kind of content web. Noosphere, like its namesake, is a worldwide medium for thinking together.

The open source back end protocol powering the [[Subconscious]] app. The Subconscious Noosphere Discord chat server is one of my favourite place for learning and discussion.

Noosphere draws from the same foundational ideas as [[IPFS]], [[ActivityPub]], [[ATProtocol]], [[Nostr]] and other protocols. But, it distinguishes itself in meaningful ways:

• Users truly own and control their data, even when infrastructure providers become adversaries
• All operations are local-first and work offline
• Infrastructure providers trust users, not the other way around
• There is no blockchain, central authority or other built-in, global source of truth
