@xjix @clarity @qxoko Another problem with communal infra is that it kind of necessitates individuals taking on an outsized chunk of labour on behalf of the community (e.g. keeping a server running, moderating an instance), which spawns fundraising events and burnout.
I think a problem that is kind of endemic to the p2p community is a total disregard for how their designs can be weaponised. Immutable data structures are the ultimate panopticon, a perfect, cryptographically signed log of activity. Discovery via DHT is a great way to get the IP addresses of your opponents.
