In this case the benefit would be:
- your data lives in one place, your Personal Data Server (PDS). You can self-host this if you like
- The AppView (in this case, tangled.org) aggregates the data from many PDS's into one view.
- If tangled.org enshittifies, you can do all the same things from any other AppView -- tangled.org itself is not privileged in any way.
Social logins on independent forges help, but personally I'd rather have a single account to manage -- and the AT protocol means that any individual forge can go down, but the data remains accessible from other AppViews.
- nightpool 6mo agoIn this case the PDS is only storing social data though, right? The forge would still store the repository data itself.
- tao_oat 6mo agoAha, I was mistaken -- I was under the impression that repos were also stored on the PDS. Looks like that's where knots come in -- you could replace "PDS" with "PDS and knot" in my earlier comment and it holds true, I believe.
