I think on Lemmy you could just host it on your own server and do whatever you want, all the others can do is ban you from their servers. Basically what Gab did on the backend with the same Fediverse code to ensure they'd never go down.

Yes. However, what I'm saying is that "all the other[ admin]s" should not ban you from their servers, rather, the individual users should decide who they want to block or not.

Keep in mind the admin pays money out of pocket for maintaining these servers, so I think blocking servers against your ethos, or otherwise damaging your vision is perfectly fine. If it was totally peer to peer rather than federated then what you're saying would make more sense.

Freedom is not necessarily tied to finances. Many admins get support from communities. Many don't do it for the money. The finances point is moot.

If more platforms were peer to peer apps using different protocols there'd be no need for servers and that distribution would be ideal - in an ideal world where everyone had good tech. The reality is different - yet the goal remains to do better. Something in between could be developed. I suspect the powers that should not be are maintaining this divided paradigm.

It's not about what I personally would block. It's about what the individuals want to individually see - NOT the admins, moderators, nor any kind of "authorities".

no, it's just difficult for these things to reach mass adoption. there was a p2p reddit clone 6 years ago that died out.

this is how tiktok/reels works and it's pretty effective at piping me racist content even on my personal accounts. zucc knows me...

Time to resurrect it. Call it Zombit.

Would be pleased to see such a thing revived, hope you manage it

Maybe LemmyBB too.

Here's the P2P project I mentioned, seems like it's still being maintained

https://github.com/aethereans/aether-app

there's also this https://github.com/plebbit

latter seems like it could be really good if fleshed out.
