Call me cynical but a decentralized alternative to Twitter (or the domain name system for that matter) won't work unless:
a) there's a mechanism for brands to get their associated nickname, and
b) spammers can't create millions of accounts, or doing so is worthless.
Even BitTorrent only really works because central authorities (torrent sites) confer some level of authority on the contents of particular torrents.
- sktrdie 11y agoBitTorrent's DHT is constantly being spammed and has been so since its inception several years ago. The whole point of DHT feeds is to actually filter out spam by only trusting specific feeds. Torrent site owners can publish their torrents on PeerTweet and avoid having to change their DNS every week or so (therefore having to rebuild their reputation).
