@k4r4b3y I got thru #8 and they were all the same nonissue IMO – yes, it’s an append-only log like a lot of decentralized systems and yes that means it’s not inherently linear and that you can’t delete stuff.
I’ll look over the rest later
@k4r4b3y Oh yeah, on phone I used Manyverse. Big props to Andre Saltz if he’s still working on it.
Just throwing this out there – if I were taking up the task of censorship-resistant online community creation today, I’d probably focus on Matrix. It already has a very solid backend and ability to sync servers; there is a lot of low-hanging fruit in the clients, though
@k4r4b3y TBH I stopped paying attention to SSB about 2 years ago, and even when I was active I just used the web interface (and sometimes the CLI for pub management)
@k4r4b3y @rafael_xmr Just poking in to say I also love SSB’s totally decentralized design. It’s what I would choose for maximum censorship resistance.
That said, the world has basically chosen Federated architectures rather than fully decentralized ones: Matrix, Mastodon, etc.
An important requirement for a social network… is people
@freedomtools Finally? Like, what took them so long?
Except the need for private transactions is never going away. And there is no better solution anywhere on the horizon.
It’s like a scare campaign against closing the bathroom stall door. GLWT.
