Are there any exciting developments in explicitly anti-capitalist P2P systems lately?
(I know about Veilid)
@joepie91@pixie.town Farcaster got $150 million from a16z, does that count?
Just kidding ...
Cwtch has a new version out (although they say it'll be the last for a while), not sure if that counts. https://fosstodon.org/@sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social/113273440386222527
@jdp23 Cwtch is 'just' built on Tor, right? I'm particularly looking for novel network designs, consensus mechanisms, actual networks, that sort of thing, that try to advance the state of research in P2P systems, rather than applications built on existing systems.
@joepie91@pixie.town yeah agreed about blockchains wrecking stuff. and yes cwtch is built on Tor, so interesting as at the app level but not new infrastructure ... it's a great question, it'll be interesting to see what people come up with.
