No I'm not. I started this thread to discuss a game changing concept that many people may not be aware of. There is no wild west on the net, even the dark net is still subject to the same rules as everywhere else. Silk Road and sites like it on the dark net weren't protected by the fact that many people consider the dark net to be the wild west.
As far as I can tell, most PeerTube sites have rules, but they also have the freedom to set their own rules, which you can only do within a federated platform. Monolithic sites like YouTube control everything, PeerTube sites also control everything - the difference is that with PeerTube anyone can start their own instance with their own rules.

ActivityPub is a protocol, it already exists, you can't change it any more than you can change smtp, http, ftp etc. It may be enhanced, however nobody has to accept those enhancements. Once a protocol becomes accepted and widespread it's very difficult to modify it. We've only just leapt from HTTP 1.1 to HTTP 2.0 and that took 18 years.
