Could you expand on why it's silly?
It's trivial to build an uncensorable Twitter clone on an EVM-based chain. You could even have a DAO determine the rules for content moderation. The fact that writes cost gas also reduces incentives for the spamming endemic to social media today.
The only part that still is cebtralised is DNS but you don't need it, you could just pass about the address or use ENS.
Either way the technology makes this sort of uncensorable application quite easy to build. Why do you feel it's silly?
- infotogivenm 5y ago> Client-side & server-side ISPs, cloud platforms, CDNs, payment networks, client OSs, browsers, email clients Every single one of these things can still censor your access to content on the network whenever it wants. I do not believe the presence of a blockchain changes anything there. All it does is make speech cost money.
- djohnston 5y agoPayment networks are entirely irrelevant, client side ISP would need to use a port number given it's P2P which seems error prone and prohibitive. Email irrelevant. Browsers not possible given opensource chrome forks / brave.
- t-3 5y agoDNS isn't centralized. It is and always has been distributed. De facto under central control, but so is all the infrastructure.

- FranksTV 5y ago> the fact that writes cost gas You realize that if free speech has a price, it's no longer free, right? Like it's only "free" if you can afford it.
