i remembered about Basis which i admit i still don't really understand at all after looking at again, and doesn't seem to overlap that much with my idea since it has a more grand focus on building a new economy rather than just improving the old one

looks a bit dead but i think it's a great concept

also remembered about PeerTube which obviously is decentralised and hosts a large amount of data

i guess federation is the middle ground in the tradeoff between reliability and decentralisation

i didn't see any federated wiki/databases aside from maybe Hubzilla which claims it does "everything". so i'm guessing it's like maybe a federated version of Discourse with a ton of bloated features...?

i dunno why not just make a smaller framework though, well it's Mozilla

when i google this i find a lot of scary sites that i have never seen before and i'm not sure when it was even started or how it's going. the website also seems slightly broken. but it's cool

i think just having the fediverse exist will be great once stuff starts getting bad with the major platforms when they try to tighten the screws on their seemingly captive userbase

i know network effects and all that are impossible to fight against right now but i believe that humanity will drift towards such solutions eventually if things don't go too horribly wrong
