Here's a totally off-the-cuff pitch for the #p2p web: I just want to be able to load a webpage from a #bittorrent swarm by leeching, and then click an "I approve" button if it looks non-sketchy and I want to seed the page. I want to bookmark magnet links to make human-readable URLs and allow collisions between actual names/content to be decided socially (e.g. click to accept a new version of this page from this new swarm). I don't want a bunch of new protocols. No #crypto for domain names or donations. No vibe-coded corporate-sponsored AI BS. No #GitHub repos. Just give me the wild west with everything visible and no default seeding so that bad actors don't bother with it so much. Run it through a #VPN or something if you want privacy.
@caten right on!
Thanks @tonyg@leastfixedpoint.com for boosting the above.
I felt part of it can be done by a convention of file:///magnet/ URI's combined with something like bittorrentfs. "discover" a link, file:///magnet/some_magnet_uri/, and click on it in the browser; the underlying file system torrents it and index.html renders in your browser.
@tetrislife It seems like https://www.btfs.io/ has blockchain and AI stuff and is also on GitHub, so I definitely won't touch that, but yeah, some kind of addressing with magnet links is what I'd like to do.
