We Are Trying Out PeerTube
The problem for the Fediverse will always be domains, in my opinion. It sounds silly to the technical demographic, but to a normal person, it is a massive issue.<p>"Which server do I choose to get in bed with?"<p>It's not just a question of which server do you trust to be a good actor and to not shut down tomorrow. It's also a question of which domain name do you want associated with your user account?<p>Do you want alice@cucumbers.pizza? Or do you want alice@witches.bike?<p>I believe that gmail won email not because of security and good user experience. I think they won because it removed the complexity of this problem.<p>When I sign up for gmail, I can just be myself. I don't have to be myself + something else.<p>Consequently, this is the strength of P2P networks. Remove the domain question entirely. I _am_ just a long string of characters (which is like my essence), but people call me by my name. Just like in normal life.
