Hi, I am really interested in decentralizing the internet, and subscribe to learn more about how it's happening. I set up my first network in 1987 using Osborne portable PC's and CP/M. Bill Gates hadn't even stolen DOS yet. I had a side gig as a consultant building PC's for folks that didn't want stock computers from Dell and Gateway in the 90's.
But I didn't understand much from this email. I don't know what a CID is, what DASL is, or most of the jargon above. I bet most folks that are interested in free speech and preventing centralization on Big Tech platforms didn't either. I realize that ya'll are programmers and use specific terms for specific code specialists in IPFS do understand, but you need the market to come and use the products you're making.
The language of the post will keep almost everyone but the coders away. I did grasp that orders of magnitude advances in posting and finding content have been achieved. Yay! that's awesome. I really wish you could convey that in words that Second Graders understand, because the market for IPFS needs to understand it can help them speak freely without their content being scrubbed, them being banned, and is what they need to keep the internet usable by actual human beings.
Please find a way to describe what IPFS is and how people that don't have a degree in CS can use it. You can use a term like CID or DASL if you define it, and then provide a link for more coder oriented information. If we can't tell people that need IPFS how they can use it, they won't use it in droves.
