hmm.. i meam - this is unfunded and not supposed to be ready for being used yet.
there will be a polished user interface once it reliably works, so maybe a bit "unfair" to take a work in progress open source project 100% by volunteers.
when you say protocol over ppl its hard to understand what you mean.
so far, ppl over protocol meant sysadmins, instance operators or social network owners like musk reign supreme...
@hamishcampbell
...because when issues occur, they can always interfere nad "solve the problem" how they seem fit, against the consent of users.
p2p protocols means sovereign users, the people that SHOULD have the last say on things will have the last say on things and not some "other people", like angry sysadmins ...
so protocols instead of servers owned by tech people, will empower the user people 馃檪

haha... just as i finished submitting this message, the following post was boosted and came into my mastodon feed:
@serapath As I talk about a lot all good societies are based on trust, all bad society are based on fear. Q. how can we socially create paths that data stays online?
@hamishcampbell
There are plenty of social networks out there, including bsky, mastodon and even nostr.
there is also good old atom/rss feeds.
imho there is no point in adding yet another app to this, unless it fundamentally solves some deep problems.
thats where my passion for p2p comes from.
of course i agree, that once it works, the apps built on top have to serve the people ...and we are getting close - thats why i shared the github link - even though its raw unfinished work in progress
