im not sure what you mean can you elaborate

like, why not use indieweb for inspiration instead?

a) p2p is older than indieweb b) federation is still ultimately centralized and has a loooot of problems c) what's wrong with p2p?

its very not p2p. like, anything that is "aaS" cannot be p2p because p2p is inherently about everyone in the network having equivalent roles, and to @SarahJamieLewis's point about decentralization, about power being anti-concentrated

and indieweb has always been hyper concentrated. its kind of unfortunate that it went the route it did, tbh. they couldve done something really interesting but instead its just... twitter plus inter-server distribution :\

you're talking about Mastodon/fediverse specifically, right? because indieweb encompasses a lot more than just that model

i am, yes, because its the only relevant aspect of indieweb in the context of the thread that i wrote, as far as i can tell

sure i mean everything i said above also applies to direct site-to-site engagement too. i wrote a thread about p2p and cryptography, and somehow this is turning into a debate about indieweb because of some random asshole
