I have been really in love with the ideas both Pubky (https://www.pubky.org/) and Bitsocial (https://bitsocial.net/) bring to the table of the future of the web and social protocols.

I love the idea that Pubky brings of having your identity and your own storage linked. Having the means to choose where your data is hosted and with which identity is a Huge gamechanger.

Bitsocial's P2P aspect of each node providing more bandwidth for the whole network is such an alluring idea.

I would like to see if these ideas can be combined to make a collaborative protocol where users have ownership of their data and what services can access it but also host it over a P2P network.

Maybe this could be achieved with a Pubky homeserver based on IPFS? Something like that idk.

Would this make credible exit harder? Is there a reason the Pubky team avoided relying on P2P technology?

I am still very new to this whole world of decentralized protocols and such so please inform me thusly! Would love to hear your thoughts :)
