I have been working with Web technologies since 1992. I have co-founded two browser companies, Opera Software and Vivaldi Technologies. I was CEO at Opera and I am CEO at Vivaldi.I am a strong proponent of open standards. I believe in building feature rich products that can be adapted to the needs of users without collecting information about usage. I believe no company has the right to profile their users.#introduction

@bhorst , I guess part of the point is to be able to engage with the content, which requires a login, but lets see what happens over time.

@jon With security and privacy as core values, it would require a strong separation from any theoretical social app. But the value may be to simplify the onboard process (just create a profile right in your browser, no need to choose a server!), and to spread the computing load from servers hosted by volunteers, to each user’s desktop (a single-user instance inside each browser). Analogous, maybe, to BitTorrent, which of course is used already by PeerTube in the fediverse.

@bhorst @jon But doesn’t that share IPs? We disabled all torrent functionality in our peertube instance - gorf.tube
