When it comes to blockchain-based message boards, I feel like it's a question of when not if. There's a small but vocal culture that has demand for censorless social media. You can see it bubble up when Reddit bans entire subs[1][2][3]. We've had other discussion about blockchain-based social media too[4]. The difficulty seems to be in creating a viable currency/social model and not technological feasibility.
