This strategy is an alternative to PESOS (Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site) [0]. I really like this read on the indieweb website, it explains well why adopt this strategy for federation and emphasizes that "Friends are more important than federation", something a lot of nerds and hackers forget when defending their ideals.
POSSE offers a single source of truth the owner owns, vs PESOS which has multiple source of truth not owned by the owner if it's an external site.
superficially it makes me very happy that both strategies make very cute acronyms
ha ha, nice. my cowboy (western movies) take on that: ride with your POSSE to make PESOS. :)
stack that cash with ur bros
You can have both! POSSE to post multiple places. PESOS to pull in anything posted directly in other places, i.e. anything that didn't originate from a POSSE post.
