I appreciate the history because I've been through all of it.
But, I don't think you guys are right. You can have a distributed system that also has authenticated posts. It's been done before, and it will be done again.
And you can delete things. You just gotta trust nodes to also delete them and they probably won't.
And I'm totally willing to help you guys build it. I know, you don't want me to work for you guys because I work at California-based company at the mall. But I assure you, I can get you guys over this little obstacle you've discovered.
Call me! I'll answer 773-510-8601. Or the usual channels.
- josephg 3y agoSounds like they’ve found a solution to this problem that they’re happy with. Why not do it the way they’re doing it?
- evbogue 3y agoGood point!
- jazzyjackson 3y agohow are you doing peer discovery on bogbook? Do I have to find a contact's public key out-of-band before syncing their messages?
- jokethrowaway 3y agoThe distributed web works (worked?) because search engines had economic incentives to help users discover content, thanks to ads and they invested a lot of resources, which culminated in Google. I still have to see a distributed social network which works well enough for end users. It's not simple if you're centralising everything, no wonder distributed alternatives are hard to come by.
