The title seemed quite negative but the article is quite good.
I hope that POSSE is the future but the layperson will not host their own site that serves as their "identity" which makes me feel that at some point we will have "identity management" services which will again centralize part of the web (in a less worse way)
Lets cut to the chase and figure out decentralized identity management
Is this not what blockchains do?
No.
And even if they did, there's literally 1234567x different, better ways to solve that problem or any problem than "blockchain".
Lol blockchain still lookin' for a problem to solve.
blockchain solved the only problem it was designed to solve: how to issue and track a decentrailized digital currency.
Blockchain is a 0 trust distributed ledger. It can store anything. The 0 trust forces it to do expensive things. That make it not worth it
I can see it happening if it becomes an "appliance", similar market to what the home assistant green doodad is going for. "put this shiny blue cube full of hard drives into your kitchen, and join the identiverse! it also comes in purple!"
THIS IS A RED CUBE HOUSEHOLD
@vildis @roo Also again, how do we expect users to consume and interact with posters? I love the concept of an Indie web, but I also know that is hard to get people interact with my website without any intermediary.
That's why platforms work. Because everybody is there.
