MIF - My Ideal Forum. Part 2.

I connected with Arthur (@radarsu), a dev building a data-sovereignty protocol without blockchains. We moved from Discord to Matrix and had a great talk.

His vision: a "Personal CMS" – desktop app with email client, storage for notes/passwords/photos, and a publishing platform to cross-post to socials. All decentralized: your data stays with you, you grant permissions per app, no more cookie pop-ups, no lock-in. User verification via 3D face hash (like realeyes.ai) – anonymous but bot-proof.

Meanwhile, my tiny team shaped our MIF first steps: spin up different forum sites, sync them via DB converters, fill with useful content from parsers (ethically). Maximum "collective farm" decentralization for starters. Later – selective sync so each node stores only what its users want. Need experts for the final DB schema.

Day well spent. 🛠️

Not an endorsement. Just something I encountered:

DEMU - an open protocol for royalty payouts and other financial services for the music industry. When app developers build a music streaming platform on top of the protocol, anyone who has a right to royalties from a song will receive an automatic payout to their personal wallet anytime that song is played. This is done through embedding and tracking the song’s metadata.
