🌐 User Spaces Explained
The architecture of digital liberation — from platform control to user sovereignty
Digital Liberation Revolution Guide
Revolutionary Discovery— What Seemed Like a Technical Detail
What appeared to be a simple technical workaround — "How do agents find LLMFeed data for users on hosted platforms?" — accidentally became the architectural foundation for ending platform-controlled identity and beginning user-sovereign digital existence.
The Paradigm Shift Nobody Saw Coming
What Started As:
- • User space discovery mechanism
- • Platform proxy workaround
- • Technical implementation detail
- • Cross-platform compatibility
Became Blueprint For:
- • 🆔 Decentralized Identity
- • 🧠 Portable Intelligence
- • 💰 Creator Economy 2.0
- • 🏛️ Democratic Web
- • 🔮 Post-Platform Future
This isn't just a technical specification — it's the architecture of digital liberation.
The Current Digital Feudalism Problem
Today's internet operates under digital feudalism — you're a digital serf on someone else's land, subject to their rules, their changes, their business model disruptions.
Platform Tyranny in the Modern Web
What Platforms Control:
- • Your Identity: Facebook account, Google profile, GitHub username
- • Your Content: Trapped in platform silos with proprietary formats
- • Your Relationships: Mediated by algorithms and business models
- • Your Capabilities: Discoverable only within platform boundaries
- • Your Economic Power: Platform takes 30%+ of everything you earn
The AI Amplification Danger:
- • AI agents can only discover you through platform-controlled mechanisms
- • Your digital capabilities are invisible outside platform boundaries
- • Platform algorithms determine which AI systems find you
- • Economic intermediation means platforms control your AI income
- • Identity fragmentation creates different "selves" across platforms
Without intervention, the Agentic Web will amplify digital feudalism rather than democratizing it.
Technical Foundation for Digital Freedom
The core technical innovation — a federated discovery mechanism that works across platforms — becomes the foundation for complete restructuring of digital identity.
User Space Discovery Architecture
{
"user_space_discovery": {
"primary_attempt": "user_controlled_domain/.well-known/mcp.llmfeed.json",
"platform_proxy": "platform.com/.well-known/user_spaces[]",
"dynamic_generation": "platform_api/user/{username}/mcp.llmfeed.json",
"fallback_hints": "html_meta_mcp_hint_or_bio_declaration"
}
}🔧 Technical Capabilities
- • Cross-Platform Discovery: Agents find you anywhere
- • Federated Resolution: Primary + fallback mechanisms
- • Dynamic Generation: Platform APIs serve user feeds
- • Identity Preservation: Maintain identity across platforms
- • Universal Compatibility: Works with all platforms
🌐 Revolutionary Implications
- • User Control: Identity belongs to users
- • Platform Competition: Compete on value, not lock-in
- • Agent Discovery: Universal capability discovery
- • Innovation at Edges: Permissionless development
- • Economic Freedom: Direct value relationships
📦 Platform Example: GitHub Integration
{
"feed_type": "mcp",
"user_spaces": [
{
"pattern": "https://github.com/*",
"mcp_proxy": "https://api.github.com/mcp/user/{username}",
"trust_default": "public",
"profile_fields": ["bio", "website"]
}
]
}→ Agents discover users via: user.github.io/.well-known/mcp → github.com/user/.well-known/mcp → github.com/.well-known/mcp with user_spaces proxy
Four Phases of Digital Liberation
The revolution unfolds in four distinct phases, each building on the previous to culminate in true digital sovereignty.
Phase 1: Cross-Platform Discovery (2025)
Current Implementation: Basic federated discovery mechanism
- • Agents can find users across GitHub, Notion, Substack, etc.
- • Platform-independent user identity begins
- • Technical foundation for future phases established
Phase 2: Portable User Capabilities (2026)
Unified Identity: One identity adapts to multiple contexts
- • Skills, preferences, availability sync across platforms
- • AI agents understand user capabilities universally
- • Cross-platform reputation aggregation
Phase 3: Direct Economic Relationships (2027)
Creator Economy 2.0: Direct value exchange without platform intermediation
- • AI agents broker direct economic relationships
- • Platform fees eliminated through direct discovery
- • Global talent marketplace without intermediaries
Phase 4: Platform-Independent Existence (2028+)
Post-Platform Future: Complete digital sovereignty
- • Professional identity transcends any single platform
- • AI agents work exclusively for user interests
- • Platform-independent digital existence achieved

}Global Implications: Geopolitical Revolution
User Spaces enable digital sovereignty for nations and end tech colonialism by providing infrastructure that no single country or company controls.
🏛️ Digital Sovereignty Examples
Estonia (Digital-First Nation)
Citizens' digital identity works globally without depending on US tech companies
India (Digital Payments Leader)
Economic innovation without platform extraction by foreign companies
African Union (Mobile-First)
Leapfrog platform-dependent development to user-sovereign systems
European Union (Privacy-Focused)
GDPR enforceable through user-controlled identity vs platform compliance
🌍 Ending Tech Colonialism
Currently:
Silicon Valley platforms control global digital infrastructure → Digital colonialism
With User Spaces:
Universal open protocols enable local innovation → Digital sovereignty
- • Global South Innovation: No platform gatekeepers
- • Cultural Preservation: Local values respected
- • Economic Justice: Equal footing without geographic bias
- • Democratic Innovation: Community consensus over corporate control
🚀 Success Story: TalentMesh (Global Platform)

⚡ Platform Counter-Revolution Warning
Urgent: As user spaces gain adoption, platforms will attempt to co-opt or sabotage the revolution through proprietary "user space" features that create new forms of lock-in.
The window for building truly open infrastructure is now. Once platforms establish proprietary alternatives, the path to digital sovereignty becomes exponentially harder.
The Choice is Ours
User Spaces represent the most important architectural decision for the future of human digital existence. We can choose digital feudalism under platform control, or digital sovereignty under human control.
The technical foundation exists. The economic incentives align. The cultural moment is right.
The only question is whether we'll have the courage to build the future we want rather than accept the future that's imposed on us.
