I''l give it my best shot.

Moving from Web 2 (like Reddit, Facebook, etc) to Web 3 a big thing people are wanting to see is "user sovereignty". Essentially treating the online identity as a thing owned and controlled by the user instead of something that lent out by the platform.

Federated services like Lemmy, help mitigate the power a platform has over its users, but allowing for cooperation between different providers (lemmy.ml vs midwest.social for example) so that the user is less stuck to the platform they choose. That said, users identies and profiles are still owned by the platforms in this model, and moving would require making a new profile on another platform.

Confederal services would stand as another step away from web 2 sites, by separating the user management and authentication to another layer from the message relay layer. This would mean that a client would be able to pick and choose the services that it may use (like message storage, avatar hosting, reverse proxing, etc) but could also act in a peer to peer way too, messaging directly from one users app to another.

I have some more learning to do before I could tackle the "How can we build this?" section properally, but I am tracking it as: build a user-friendly layer for creating the distributed namespace onto of something in the ETH blockchain to create the sole truth auth mechanism, but use off-chain methods for the majority of the interactions.

No, no, you borrow against it, so that you don't lower your asset's value.

Oh the late stage capital slogan is now "what the market will bear"

Yeah, thats why strata like peertube reducing costs with p2p sharing helps, or lbry (rip, I think) attempt to put in donations and tipping directly in was key for those to gain any traction.

Going further in cost reduction is what I am hopeful for. Better AV1 support and IPFS support are two develops I am following. A more radical approach may be using latent space generation from AI models like stable diffusion to generate frames locally instead of storing and transmitting perfect copies.

A fedisearch function would be pretty cooltoo be honest.

I know I personally like open assistant more just because you get less blocks

Been really enjoying fedora KDE spins, specifically kinote now, was garuda before that, but fedora has been so stable that I haven't needed to switch. Really tempted to point to ublue and try my hand at really using image based distros more fully.

Following, because I am interested in this as well. I am biased enough though to think that a cross positing bot between communities of shared interest makes sense to me.

Mod culture is always odd to me. I kind of wish there was more community modderation, and less dictators for life running things.

Hopefully they will focus on shared improvements and not just have wine and dxvk do all of the heavy lifting.

I would be ok with less native titles if big lifts like vulkan support happened instead

I personally like the idea of a linking bot that would cross post automatically accross communities and deduplicate things posted by the same user on both.

You could also just cross post things with relevent tags and crosspost then in relevent communties

If it wasn't partially propriety I'd probably think more about it, but till then it's not a real option to me.
