> The projects they profile are, I believe, the “spanning set” needed to illustrate all the advantages and obstacles to the distributed web that they wanted to cover. I’m reading their report (slowly) and want to complete it before responding, because it’s making me ask a lot of questions about SSB/Dat. They use these handful of services to illustrate some really interesting pitfalls—how does curation work, why don’t they collaborate/interoperate with existing centralized networks versus competing with them, how do they prevent re-centralization, how are hardware costs shouldered, etc., and of course also onboarding as discussed above.
