Awesome post! I think a ton of people are coalescing on this idea - I’ve seen multiple people post thoughts around this very recently. I’m about to launch a distributed social network, built on ethereum and ipfs. Ethereum helps solve some of these distributed discovery issues. It includes an open source, centralized ‘gateway server’, which makes it a little easier for onboarding, plus it has built in support for ActivityPub out of the box, which makes it compatible with mastodon. I’m posting it here on Monday morning! Sorry for the self plug. I love your ideas around deleting content - that’s a tough problem that I’m only really supporting on the client side right now.
