@stefan i am highly interested.

I have met and talked to darius some time ago in portland. My main interest is to ideally ensure or see if there is a way to make it compatible with peer to peer.

I checked the agenda but i am not sure where this fits in best, but would be happy for guidance.

I can share more and the p2p application i have in mind is an app that combines blog with rss reader equivalent. pll publish stories and subscribe to others and can discover others too or crawl.

@stefan

it does not use http(s), but it can use activity pub vocab. ...identities are keypair based on blogs and users are public key addressed.

there are no servers or cloud involved. its device to device and some generic, but unnecessary relays nodes that can run on servers

one can always build a bridge, but it makes that bridge a powerful custodian which can censor and impersonate users - and if there wqs native support, that would be much cooler

@serapath This sounds great, even if a bit above my head! I'm not too sure how helpful I can be here, but perhaps you might have luck reaching out to Darius again?

He's pretty active on his Mastodon server, should be fairly easy to get in touch and get some useful pointers from him directly.

@stefan

sure i know.
@darius
is there any way i could follow and/or contribute or at least join the discussion in the right place to see if there is a feasible way of having direct support for p2p or more specifically `dat` without a centralized custodial bridge server which would technically impersonate all user, but hopefully always relay all messages honestly and not produce fake messages. ...that would require fediverse instances to be able to verify p2p msg signatures
