this is a brainlet post, but also a wise one. fediverse shouldn't be held back by these kinds of research problems. i don't think its categorically impossible to build usable WoT or cryptographic social networks, but you actually don't need these things to make fedi work and/or succeed.
which is the real problem with w3c people trying to write protocols like AP. sometimes a less galaxy brain solution is the right one because its more important to have practically useful tools than the perfectly distributed whatever that people are daydreaming about
