Data portability
2020-06-17 02:58:11 +02:00
Decentralized systems do not have a single central system to coordinate updates.
### Data availability
No server has a unified global view of a decentralized network.
Data is only available along user connections or the follow graph, whether that is determined by node or by server.
Mastodon - No global search functionality
### Mutability
Ssb & Hypercore - Messages added to the append-only log are immutable. Applications can choose not to display messages indicated as deleted, but the data cannot be overwritten.
IPFS - Once added to a network, content is discoverable by its hash. If a copy remains stored on the network, it is re-discoverable by this reference.
### Data structures
JSON-LD
RDF
