- fc417fc802 6mo agoIt's (mostly) not the networking layer where people pay to target us. It's the application layer that would most benefit from being forked. Of course the problem is that what can be forked already has been. Federated social media. Distributed git hosting. However most "essential" uses are centralized and often also commercial in nature. If you fork Amazon you're ... still Amazon. That sort of thing.
