@jens @futureisfoss @aral I've been thinking along similar lines. I have tremendous respect for Aral and what he's building but maybe for some use cases a domain-less solution would be an option? Maybe ActivityPub json (or other protocol) could be transmitted via email? Or a loose store-and-forward network like Usenet which is agnostic as to the underlying transport layer? To be sure this loses some functionality, but I can imagine upsides in some cases too.
@octonion888 Thanks. And the two don’t have to be mutually exclusive either. It’s going to be fun looking at how different pieces do/don’t fit together once I’m finally done building infrastructure :)
I'm also a big fan of these domain-less peer-to-peer services and have been keeping an eye on the developments there. One such decentralized p2p project I know is the @briar messenger and they've recently announced the release of their new Briar Mailbox app, which is an app you can just keep running on an old android device or something and it basically turns it into a server for sending & receiving your Briar messages! - https://briarproject.org/news/2023-briar-mailbox-released/
Like @aral said, they're all different methods/solutions for tackling the same problem, and they don't have to be mutually exclusive with one another. Its good to have different options at our disposal
