Ngl, for me both GNOME and GTK+ suck, their governance, design principles, development principles, and both user-facing and dev-facing cultures, are authoritarian and really toxic.
Look at, for example, the Mutter controversy, or the controversy woth GTK4 and the subsequent creation of both MATE and Cinnamon, or the drama with Zrythm (which author I do personally support) and FalkTX, etc.
Yes, I only called them that way as a saying, and because in practice they operate as a de facto one, similar to how mastodon.social holds the title in Mastodon.
Yes, the point with Iroh and IPFS is that they are content-adressed, and therefore addressable, so they massively deduplicate what is uploaded, and as a consequence there is hardly any redundant data, if not no redundant data, and that makes it more efficient, reducing the bandwidth and space required on all nodes, so if something is archived once, then all subsequent archives of that same thing will be just references to the original file, and will be very resilient since It's like a torrent (you can seed, pin, or hydrate the content so it won't disappear so easily).
I have read the comic, and I disagreed, I'm on my right of doing so.
And again, I have found instances that draw the line where I do: real damage.
But again, the problem that I'm pointing is that it is worrying that people so unjustifiably and illogically expand the line of what constitutes hate speech in their spaces (and I speak for both extremes, not just those on the left, as incels are also unbearable), because in part thanks to that is where all the current polarization arises (and pay attention, in part, it is multifactorial of course).
At least we agree that others have the right to block others if they don't want to read them, but I think banning is much trickier territory.
Exactly in part the DECLARED purpose of these networks―that is, the Fediverse― is that there is more freedom of expression and thought than in, say, Blueshit, Shitter or Reshit, where moderators can ban you for absurd things.
Do you think that only state censorship represents a problem? No. Any type of censorship, even personal, is a serious problem.
Think about it, it is a problem that LGBTQ or racialized people cannot express themselves freely on traditional networks because that affects their scope of action and perpetuates their marginalization. The same thing happens with those of us who criticize totalitarian regimes.
I don't think so if it's not in a single central server.
Although I can be wrong, that's not the point I mean by uncensorable and undeletable, what I mean is something like a government, agency or person can't arbitrarily try to shut down, censor or delete something legitimate that's archived, like has actually happened with Wayback Machine (and what's thus one of the main reason why I propose this); of course I don't want CSAM, doxxing, GPDR violations or illegal content whatsoever, and if the authors wants their content deleted, they obviously have the right to be forgotten, but there's also situations when a web is totally taken down in a illegal or arbitrary way, or when something turns into lost media or almost lost media, and that's when this is valuable, along with making the collective memory more reliable and durable.
You may also notice it's preceded by the word "solutions", plural, because I provided more than one solution.
Yeah, and I can't do neither of the two, it's that so hard to understand?
I don't have good hardware, I don't have a good socioeconomic situation, I don't have good internet and it's hard to find these, miraculously I found those three.
They do exist, they turn in to Nazi bars fairly fast because that's what happens to freezepeach places, no-one else is willing to host them. Then they're defederated: because who the fuck wants to hang around a nazi bar. Then they disband: because freezepeach people always wanna yap, and refuse to listen, it's no fun yapping if no-one is listening. It's not called "free-listen" is it?
That's a slippery slope fallacy.
The problem is that you are again confusing freedom of speech with freedom to say or do harmful things. They are not the same. An environment that respects freedom of expression (which is not a fundamental right for nothing, without it you, or I, or both, would probably be going to jail for saying things that someone doesn't like) does not imply an environment free of rules and moderation. Of course I'm not going to make it so easy for literally Nazis, or literally Zionists, or literally Jihadists, or literally authoritarian communists, or anything like that, but that doesn't mean that if I criticize a government with good arguments then I should be banned just because some moderator thinks differently. People also leave those places and in fact those are better known for becoming radicalized and becoming worse echo chambers.
Yeah, it's archiving the Web (and more, basically a digital time capsule) then publish that to AP so it's more accesible, and of course have a web and/or a native client where you can manage easily all of that (with a UX similar to the one in Wayback Machine).
It's better in my view. It can be done but then it's again scattered. Like, what I think about is something like Wayback Machine but totally FLOSS and descentralized.
Responding to B:
The problem is that what I'm saying is not hate speech or CSEM, and you are making a false equivalence between allowing or defending free speech and defending hate speech and harmful content.
Apart from that, you do not take into account that all the time, and increasingly intensely, the concept is inflated to encompass anything that the person evaluating it does not like, even though logically derived there is no support or any valid argument to show that this is hate speech.
Repost:
I don't think so, because IPFS is just more sort of a framework and platform to those kind of applications, something as Nostr or some types of S3 storages, or a CDN.
What's necessary thus is all the business logic, the specialized nodes and clients, the metadata, identifiers and namespaces so that that application is not just a directory spread over IPFS (or in our case, Iroh, which is much better than the vanilla IPFS node, Kubo).
Something also like in HTTPS you don't see a lot of loose hyperlinks, but rather applications that use HTTPS underneath as another layer.

Yes, although in theory you can completely do without a Blockchain and instead use the Holochain for the entire transaction book and the backlog, although without anything economic involved since an archive has to be accessible to anyone — except perhaps some small profit in tokens for seeding, pinning and/or archiving websites or any other type of content, so that there is an incentive to make it functional.
Using small-world topology to optimize such CAS also sounds attractive.
