Are there any alternatives to the Internet Archive that are built around P2P, so that everyone can contribute to hosting/sharing web archives? Seems like having all these important archives hosted by a single organization isn’t the best idea for longevity/redundancy

    There was a ActivityPub wiki clone, no idea where it got to.

    The major upside of IA being built and owned by one central company is trust. We can (so far at least, if I’m wrong please correct me) trust IA to not censor/rewrite history. As soon as every man and his dog can contribute, that gets a lot harder to guarantee.

    Don’t take me linking it as endorsement, I think federated wiki’s for anything other than fandom stuff to be madness.

      Sounds like a potential application for a blockchain techs, that allows to do verifications, voting and consensus.
