Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!

Decentralized sales platforms would just suck to use, in general. The Amazon problem is likely something that can only be solved by the legislative processes of the countries it operates in.

I agree on the need for legilature. I strongly disagree on the scam. You dont have massive csam on peertube either because it has manual federation. Everyone who runs a business knows that its much more important to not get sued than to sell stuff. Big difference between small businesses and large ones btw.

You either only federate with a select few instances who vett each seller carefullly or you won’t be able to keep track of reputation for each market user.
This isnt a mom and pop shop, its the internet. People won’t give af about reputation they’ll just keep making new accounts.
