| I think you're laying some very useful foundations and that I look forward to experimenting with it or ideas based on it. I also look forward to what you decide to do or build and will be monitoring your project. I see you're going for a zero trust model where you have baked identities into the data structure. Which is very cool. We have a discussion about this problem on Infinity. https://0oo.li/method/60001/community-managed-software-secur... One idea is to strictly review all distributed apps, so sign them by a central party. If you want to run arbitrary source code which is untrusted you need a interpreter like Ethereum/Bitcoin or browser JavaScript. I like the approach you can exclude nodes or identities you dont like which is the federated approach mastodon and matrix take. But it doesn't really scale if actors can mass produce identities to spam the network. I liked what Freenet's FMS did (freenet messaging system) which is web of trust. Your visibility of content is based on a transitive trust setting on an identity. So if you knew a good person and trusted them you could still see good content. Reddit solves the problem by having a 'new' section which is where any users content goes but it's not the default view. HN does the same. Good content gets manually audited. I am really excited by P2P software and Braid. I think the problem is running information systems over a P2P network is not a solved problem. The automerge, yjs and Hyperhyperspace projects all provide parts of a data storage layers. Either need to hitch a ride on the browser like Hyperhyperspace with webrtc or something dedicated like a DHT like Kademlia. The day I can distribute host an information system backend and frontend and others can help host it with me that would be success to me. So we have problems with distributed storage and distributed compute.
