I made something like this, called Aether. (https://getaether.net https://getaether.net) It’s not federated, but distributed / fully serverless.
It has already made its way up here on HN a few times already, this was the latest one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19161171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19161171
The protocol underlying Aether is called Mim, and it’s close to what the article is asking for: https://getaether.net/docs/developers/ https://getaether.net/docs/developers/
- joe_the_user 7y agoI will take a more detailed look. Still, I think "federated" is important in that different pieces of the system should be able to break off. If a mod can't leave a group, what use is it? Also, "mod election" doesn't make sense. Mod should be (able to be) petty dictators - a member doesn't like a mod, they can easily go to another group and a majority means little-to-nothing online where a random number of socks or confederates can be easily recruited.
