If this is the wrong place to pose this question, point me in the right direction
I discovered ZeroNet well before the pandemic and the concept was attracting, although, I admit, it was hard to adapt and everything felt... unfinished.
Because life happens, I eventually forgot about it and moved on to other waters, Reddit included.
With the current debacle of Reddit and other social sites/networks, I started wondering if ZeroNet or a fork of it could propose an alternative/add on to the growing Fediverse?
Running and maintainning an instance of any network is easy to realize that is highly time and resource consuming. I myself was forced to sign up to another instance because the one running in my country is constantly having issues.
By contrast, I never faced this sort of constraints when I was a user of ZeroNet. There wasn't anything even remotly resembling the reddit format or facebook but you could find a good deal of diversity there.
There was also the possibility of publishing/hosting your own webpage with no need to resort to hosting services, subscribe to mailling lists, cross link to external sources, etc.
It's not that I dislike the current fediverse: I have a Mastodon account and I'm here as well. But are we doing it all wrong?
From the perspective of someone with addmitidly very low technical knowledge, the current state of distributed social networks feels fragile, comparing with the alternative of having a truly distributed network where every user acts as a server themselves.
Please share your thoughts.
How?
Vanity is a flaw, I agree. Age is not something to be ashamed of.
Hubris is to blame for many mistakes people do but no animal or living being has respect for anything else besides the immediate survival. Animals will destroy others habitats, food, brood, etc, because the others impede their way.
Why criminals? Why not simply use any individual. If consent is the crux of the matter, let's go that way full force.
Yes. It's called self preservation. All life is to be protected until there is no other option than to end it and carry the burden for such choice. We don't live in Dante's Inferno.
