Serious question: what’s been stopping us from making a fully decentralized reddit, or social network in general?
Something that’s completely peer to peer based, where people themselves host the content they interact with, and have the freedom to hide whichever type of content THEY want?
Has it been purely a technical problem? Is there discourse on this concept?
Lemmy is not peer to peer, it’s federated, which is a big difference.
Self hosting your content and moderating your own experience could be made super easy and trasparent, in theory, but I understand that actually implanting this kind of UX must not be an easy task. It does seem the only solution for a truly censorship free network tho.
