   Could you explain (or link to a good resource about) what pointers really are? I'm surprised that they aren't just ints that point to the address of a variable.

   +1, SSB is basically Git with the constraint that each commit only has one child (no branches) and instead of a tree you can publish arbitrary JSON. Shallow clones are completely possible, it's just that the reference implementation de

    Shouldn't this policy apply to all communication apps? Web, IRC, SMS, and even phone calls can connect you with a hate speech provider if you know the right address to dial. This sets a dangerous precedent and highlights why we should
