This is an interesting article (from an unusual and interesting website) showing how many of the leading edge technologies for developing a distributed and decentralized web are at odds with each other. If I had to break it down, I'd say the conflict is between static (think HTML web pages, microformats, and RSS) and dynamic (think wiki and Activity Pub) online content. My approach (with gRSShopper and elsewhere) has always been to do both; static works for larger chunks of content, while dynamic is better for smaller content. The battleground, as always, is where these two intersect - which is around the size of a short blog post.
