Let's talk!
You can try it out easily here: https://peergos-demo.net
Our iOS app is still in the works still though.
At the moment if your client accesses a server with a mirror, and your primary is offline, then you can read, but not write. Writes are proxied to your primary, and thus need your primary to be accessible.
An old write up is here: https://itsfoss.com/peergos/
The good news is Peergos also has serializable transactional modifications. This comes from us storing signed roots in a db on your home server (not ipns). We also have our own minimal ipfs implementation that uses 1000x fewer resources than kubo, aka go-ipfs.
1. People have to accept you as a follower, and the default is bi-directional.
2. There are no visible follower/friend counts.
3. Chronological feed which has an end (no infinite scroll)
4. No arbitrary character limit
5. No analytics (enforced by E2EE)
We don't have a max friends/number of posts per day though.
The supposition for all this is that the service wants to use passwords for whatever reason. In that case, generate them for the user.
A website doesn't have control over whether you are using a password manager though. This is about stopping the human from generating a password themselves, which will be terrible.
2. How do you fix the incentives short of fixing capitalism to remove software VCs?
It is social media where only the end users' devices can decrypt the posts and comments. Then surveillance is not possible. Targeted ads are not possible.
