  • That’s actually a pretty good idea, thought It have some defect, in particular, each ActivityPub server have a limited view of the whole network. While it is usefull for avoiding abuse, it also have the downside that you can’t search for the whole thing that’s published on a platform.

    But that could be solved with what is called backfilling (that Matrix does incredibly well). Sepia search (for Peertube) also does this.

    Mixing ActivityPub with backfilling would be a really good idea. You can share metadata of ressources, have multiple instance, admin could block abusive website, and searching the whole site would be possible.

    Maybe I’ll go study what already exist on this side.

    (as an aside, Tribler does something similar to that, but only for Torrent and P2P)
