I figured that every node would need to scrap the site, in order to validate the content. If there are thousands of nodes, that would ddos the site.
I don’t really understand how PoW would solve that, can you explain?

Yeah, quite possibly. Could still be very hard to get right. Region blocking might make consensus difficult.
Edit: just occurred to me, any method of consensus could be used to ddos sites as well. Might be best left for people smarter than me
There was a ActivityPub wiki clone, no idea where it got to.
The major upside of IA being built and owned by one central company is trust. We can (so far at least, if I’m wrong please correct me) trust IA to not censor/rewrite history. As soon as every man and his dog can contribute, that gets a lot harder to guarantee.

Don’t take me linking it as endorsement, I think federated wiki’s for anything other than fandom stuff to be madness.
Is there something deeper going on with IV fluids? I was in hospital in Aus a few months back, and they had an IV fluids shortage as well, long before any hurricane in a far off country occurred.
Thats for proving its untampered with right? I’m more thinking of validating the archive copy is a “true” copy when adding it initially, which requires each node to check against the live site?
Its definitely an intriguing idea though, but I don’t know enough to know how feasable it can be
