What are the mechanisms that assure safety for users of iOS? I understand that it's had a good track record so far, but the proprietary closed nature doesn't inherently inspire trust. Surely a decentralised FOSS model done right could be secure for lawyers &c.

- confounded 8y agoI think that’s unfair; the Ghost.io post from a day or so ago is a good reminder of just how much harder it is to do things when you have to make them work in a decentralized fashion. Decentralization makes everything harder. Doesn’t mean it’s the wrong thing to do! :)
