I keep feeling frustrated as valuable knowledge for my different hobbies over the last years became siloed away in corporate social media. I believe wikis could be a way out, but can we have decentralized, federated wiki software that can kind of talk among each other?
Sounds cool. Does that mean we need heavy disks full of data everywhere or is there a magicky way around it?
iirc You “pin” content to access, which means you’re also then hosting it. You wouldn’t need to necessarily store the entirety of wiki for example unless its held in like, data files rather than page per content.
Im not fully up to scratch of the intricacies on IPFS, just thought it sounded like a possible solution to your use-case
As far as I know, but I might be wrong. IPFS is great for static content. But wikis are dynamic but slow.
Every change must be stored as duplicate file. For low bandwidth text based content it could probably work.
The 6h news cycle of web 2.0 would be incompatible with IPFS but web 3.0 and fediverse could be made more static, (more users see the same article so it could work)
