Spam will flood a lot of places for sure. But there is a solution! We were just talking about it in a lively and informative thread on lichess. [1] A social graph, in which people are confirmed as humans from the outside world as well as from the virtual world, connecting hierarchies of pseudonymous accounts together.
The social graph of reputation systems, has a necessary constraint, it has to be retained in the blockchain so as to be incorruptible by every human power. As soon as a node can be planted by a malicious actor, as part of the social graph, the whole of it becomes invalidated.
Mr Craig Wright calls this "The Metanet", George Gilder calls this "The cryptocosm", other people call it "Web3", Balaji Srinivasan calls it "The network State". I call it, "The internet of one million governments".

- glass3 4y ago>As soon as a node can be planted by a malicious actor It's a directed graph that indicate who trusts whom. If you identify a malicious actor, you only have to re-validate the nodes that receive their trust from that actor. You can also use weights, e.g. to reduce the influence of new nodes.
- emporas 4y agoOh nice, thanks for the details/correction. I am not very familiar with the concept, i haven't implemented a social graph, i do have some general knowledge on the subject.
- d_e_solomon 4y agoAfter the crash of FTX, it's going to take a long time for anyone to trust anything that has blockchain in its description. Fair or unfair, the entire ecosystem is tainted. I'm also suspicious of claims that an algorithm is uncorrupted by human power. Every computer algorithm is made by people who have human motivations.
