Curious if it'll gain any traction. The dev already has an instagram clone.

Dansup doesn't really deliver novel tech, but I'm always happy to see the idea getting out there and working out UX ideas at least. Federated video is a tough one. Web p2p tech is extremely limited so don't expect too much. Fedi dev's fixation of web technologies is really holding the platform back imo. Peertube makes bit torrent look bad by not being a complete peer experience, only because browsers can't do real networking. like, I can stream any show I want over bit torrent the day it releases no problem. with over 40 peers for popular content. hosting tiktok-like content could be just as good, but you just can't do this with web.

Sadly, most of the more technical projects have reactionary politics and a blockchain attached.. That's slowly changing, but we have way less funding at our disposal so its rough.
