The fediverse is unstoppable because everyone is free to run their own copy of it. It can't be controlled, or sued out of existence. This is precisely what Needpedia needs and it's achieved using "protocols". The Vision: Decentralize Needpedia’s infrastructure to ensure that no single entity can control or shut it down. By leveraging decentralized technologies and empowering individuals to run their own instances, we can create a network that is truly unstoppable. Instance Federation: Allow anyone to run their own Needpedia instance, with all instances seamlessly syncing ideas and content. Censorship Resistance: Design the system so that even if one instance is taken down, the network remains operational. Community Empowerment: Provide tools and documentation to make it easy for individuals and communities to participate in the network. Interoperability: Integrate with the fediverse (via ActivityPub) to connect with other decentralized platforms and amplify our impact. Why This Matters: Freedom of Ideas: Needpedia is a platform for sharing solutions to humanity’s problems. These ideas must be accessible to everyone, everywhere, without fear of censorship. Resilience: Decentralization ensures that Needpedia can withstand attacks from governments, corporations, or other hostile entities. Alignment with Values: By moving away from centralized platforms like AWS, we reject the systems that support oppression and exploitation.
*If you're tech savi and hate censorship: Run an Instance. Once the decentralized infrastructure is ready, please consider running your own Needpedia instance. *Everyone else: Please help us spread the word by posting about this idea on other sites.
