What Hacker News says

I would continue to (re)build my decentralized Web Browser network, which aimed to combat fake propaganda, fake news, shit storms etc by creating evidence trails and by correlating articles with similar or opposing entries. That, and a lot of nice things you can do when you have trust ratios of local/global peers, more efficient bandwidth usage etc. Anyways, long story short, needs lots of time and money to build something like this. But seeing how messed up Mozilla's future plans are, I really think someone should do it. After I got doxxed by kiwifarms, /pol/ and others I decided that I have to fix the cybersecurity problem first before I can go back to this.

In Ask HN: What would you spend your time working on if you didn't need money?
For me, the peak of decentralization efforts were Beaker Browser [1] and Stealth [2]. But one project didn't make enough money and the author of the other one got doxxed into oblivion, so I guess we can't have nice things. A peer to peer browser has so much potential, I wish somebody else might give it a try. Imagine the possibilities when you can just share the content with others, without needing a web server. Does anybody know whether there's a decentralized (static/generated) blog for ipfs or similar? Maybe that would make a nice starting point.

In Can we get more decentralised than the Fediverse?
