Using the blockchain for something like this is a total waste of energy. Just run it on a single fast server. (or a small cluster)

- hlfshell 11y agoWouldn't that then make it centralized? I think the point is to make a reddit wherein censorship - beyond voting bombs - can not be enacted.
- Ono-Sendai 11y agoYes. Centralisation is just much more efficient in this case. (and maybe in all cases?)
- hlfshell 11y agoBut the goal isn't efficiency - it's permanence.
- clarkmoody 11y agoMuch for efficient, yes. But also much less decentralized, which is the point of this presentation.
- deckard1 11y agoon reddit, censorship via central authority has always been my last concern. Censorship via groupthink is vastly more powerful and damaging.
- colordrops 11y agoSuggesting the use of a central server for this is like suggesting the use of gas to power an electric car. The whole point is decentralization.
