Just checked out scuttlebutt. Everything published is public on the network and is immutable. Forever.
Cool project for sure but seems like a bad tech to build a social network on.
- nanomonkey 9y agoImmutable, yes, but you can create encrypted posts. Also, you can set up your own custom network and private pubs if you want.
- masukomi 9y agoI dunno. There's something nice about holding people accountable to past statements. There's also something nice about knowing that "If I hit submit, I'll be stuck with this FOREVER" People tend to be a bit more thoughtful in that scenario. The thoughtless jerks aren't, of course, but there's not much that can be done about them in any social network. Practically speaking the only thing anyone every _really_ complains about is the inability to edit typos.
