Nonetheless we'll see what happens when the case study is done down the line.

I am genuinely interested to see how that case study turns out and find out more. (Im not being sarcastic)

Just wanted to mention too that some truly decentralized forums already exist - Freenet's been around for over a decade or so, for example. But it is still sucks big time to actually use. and hardly anyone actually bothers with it anyway. People just dont want taking responsibility for moderating stuff themselves. And you need a ton more bandwidth and drive space compared to regular old client-server setups. So Id definitely be curious to check out your ideas for a more user-friendly, lightweight version that doesnt dump so much on the end user.

It will take some time to write something up that is not just viable, but difficult to oppose or refute its viability as well. If I worked full or part time on the project, it'd may not take as long as it will, however my time barely permits me to do much outside of my commitments as is. I will do my best in any case as I know that it is possible.

I'm aware of freenet and other solutions however they are outdated solutions. We have web3 now, and with web3, there are endless technological advancements that came with it that can enable decentralization of some features and elements that previously would have been difficult to decentralize, or weren't viable to decentralize. I look forward to sharing the case study with you and others, thank you for prompting the idea....though do bear with me on time as like I said, this is not something that will take a few minures, it will take quite a few hours of focus (to say the least) to put something solid and actionable together.
