If we build a decentralized system for paper publishing, like lemmy based on activitypub.. will it work?

Probably won't take off because scientists need reputable journals and not some random fediverse publishers.

Is it fucked up? Absolutely. But something else needs to be changed before this would be possible.

Also, why not ditch the concept of a "publisher" to begin with? Why not have a national or international article index, graded by the article level? It's not that we live in a paper era, and for those who still need it, we can always print.
