- supports Microsub.
- We can publish okay, but we still end up relying on twitter for reading content, because RSS was effectively killed off

Difference Between DAT and DNS Approaches
- One of the motivations behind the distributed web is security: having your identity tied to a key instead of the DNS system or an account on someone else's server.
- Some of the people building these alternative tools to the internet, seem to assume it won't be there in 20 years. However, notice that a lot of people are in it, in very remote regions.
- The indie web is built on top of existing technology. dat:// websites need a specific app to access, and other distributed solutions have the same condition.
Tor is an even lower level transport, like ssb for sample - you can run an indie web site without a domain name.
So like the web, things like Dat were designed for academic sharing, so governance - does the same thing of a

-> webby, and tied to DNS
