Reminds me of .plan files from back in the day.

Well, there is https://plan.cat ...which, hosts a user's plan files. :-)

I guess think of it as a little microblog for displaying one's plan file?

Exactly - the finger protocol with .plan/.project files was essentially a proto-social network where users could publish status updates on Unix systems, and org-social follows that same decentralized, text-file-based philosophy but with modern tooling.

We're rewriting the books. finger was the first social network!

I've observed that Unix itself was a social networking platform. Your Unix account was your identity across many services: email, finger, USENET, talk, etc. And it was distributed. And didn't rely on cruft like ActivityPub.

Totally! ident alongside IRC too. So many reinvented wheels. (Side note- I'm a little sad that https is the only protocol used for everything anymore).
