Well, got my first job at a startup. Gonna be working as a front end developer for Overlay.AI!
I think if we want truly distributed networks to work (not federated networks), then we have to address the issue of cost. Right now on the web, server admins pay to host content and make money through advertisements. On the distributed web, however, there is no central server, so users end up paying for content themselves. This is not something that regular web users are used to doing, so they won't adopt distributed technology until it is free for them to use.
@phoenix Hey sorry to bother you again, but how exactly does search on Mastodon work again? Like does it just search your instance?
