Comment on Request for Feedback/Collaboration - Bytescape, an Iroh based identity layer for the open web

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar enough with Iroh to understand what exactly this is, but point #3 sounds interesting. Does this mean that, if a user has linked their identity to this service (and the other special media sites they are using support it), would I be able to see all of a user’s posts across multiple social media sites? E.g. filtering the feed by a certain user, and it shows all of that users’ posts on Mastodon and Pixelfed?

Yes, that’s the goal. It would be like an external facing version of emissary or bridgey fed, so you could set up a web portal for all of your social media presence, if you want. Iroh is just a p2p encryption protocol that allows data to be stored and transferred independently of central servers (although relay servers can and likely would be used for reliability and discoverability). So you can have a master copy of all of your data stored on your phone or PC or cloud hosting service or self hosted server, and display that data in one place for your reference/management or for others to view.
