Recently Christine Lemmer-Webber shared her 'recipe for the fediverse'. Let's see whether Leaf can meet her requirements.

Recently Christine Lemmer-Webber shared this on Mastodon:

Here is your recipe for making the “Correct Fediverse IMO ™”:

  • Integrate ocaps, which is possible because actor model + ocaps compose
  • Content addressed storage!
  • Petname system UX
  • Better anti-spam / anti-harassment using OCapPub ideas
  • Improved privacy with E2EE (“encrypted p2p” even a better goal)
  • Decentralized identity (notice the *y*, I did not say DIDs) on top of ~mutable CAS storage

In this post I’m going to explore how Leaf stands up to these goals!
