Just wanted to ask your opinion before I waste too much time in a new open source project that nobody wants.
Lemmy, Mastodon and Co are federated but users are concentrated on a few large instances which somewhat contradicts the original idea.
What do you think of a truly decentralised app where each instance is one user.
I am aware that there many reasons why this is a bad idea but I would like to hear from you why I should leave it, or encourage me to try it out.
I think the idea is perfectly fine and if you want to learn more about these apps and about designing decentralized architecture then you should try it out!
I’m personally a fan of the “dumb pipe smart endpoint” microservice style of approach.
It does have client/server separation but allows all processing, authentication, etc to be done on the users device with servers basically acting as relays for routing that cant access any actual information and Id love to see it used more but for a variety of non-technical reasons, I doubt it
If your interested I’d love to chat more about either of these concepts :v
