jk found the page that says peepin on the go

just downloaded status. do i have to make a new acc with the status addy?

got back into my metamask waz good

thanks 4 the warm wishes i hope all is well with you! just saw this reply now

what's good i'd love to yell at all the people on here but school and work is really screwing things up for me

I stand by this tweet storm.

hey guys. how has it been. school/work has been absolutely crushing me lately and i've had no time to post.

as the coolest person on this site i'd like to weigh in and say peepers is the correct term

or some scifi would be cool. i read 2 much nonfiction and would be down for a break

once i get bored enough to setup peepeth on mobile it's gonna be od

i could be down. "the people's platform" by astra taylor is my suggestion
https://www.amazon.com/Peoples-Platform-Taking-Culture-Digital/dp/0805093567

i joked about this book on chain but the the last section compares the issue of solving distribution of resources to one of computation power and was actually cool as hell

gonna cool it with the posting today hope you all have a good one <3

i agree.

however, there is infinite content on the web and we rely on centralized mediums to access it. decentralized replacements to these systems should steer people towards legitimate, factual content. i believe we can do it in a way that is agendaless and transparent.

this all aligns with my argument fam, centralized institutions can censor people at whim.

using that article as evidence that you shouldn't trust other humans is fallacious. your boy stefan molyneux would be unhappy with you.

i'm not saying it's a foolproof system, and we have to work out all the kinks to make it work, but it's a hell of a lot better than what we have now.

what is an alternative you wold propose?

decentralized systems, while requiring technocratic skills to design, remove the need for trust in the technocracy! anyone can learn the skills to peep under the hood with full transparency, so any bias or agenda can be illuminated.

what do you teach?

hyper-individualism is sad. people r good dude we r just fallible

the whole point of decentralization is facilitating trustless interactions between people. we have to trust the powers that be to get our information atm. we should use this new tech to build a better system.

why can't u trust a system that is completely transparent? do you just not want to understand the maths or whatever?

it's better than being behest to the closed off, money influenced recommendation algorithms that the market provides us with

private companies are already censoring your dumb videos, why are you afraid of the state but not them?

obv i don't want a ministry of truth, i'm in the decentralization space! i'm thinking some sort of transparent reputation system could help deliver better content to people

libertarian nerds that are free speech absolutists love to think that they are able to perfectly navigate the marketplace of ideas and form reasonable beliefs. in reality most of them just watch crackpot youtube videos & read msg board posts that turn them into fascists

online made the marketplace of ideas hard to navigate! we need some sort of regulation so people can make rational choices.

i don't think we should censor directly, but try to create pathways that steer people away from the BS.. not sure how to do this properly though

shameless plug for me and my friends most recent skate video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7yxS8a6niE

what kind of art do you like/make?

all libertarians/ancap nerds love to worship individual/corporate rights until those entities choose to censor them.

allowing private companies control our information pathways is what got us here fellas!!!!! nationalizing and decentralizing is the clearest solution imo

i don't like deplatforming but i do think suggestion algorithms should b revisited. the profit motive that leads these sites to create algorithms that maximize for retention is forsure radicalizing us all

get these youtube pseudointellectual vids off my TL. those fools subvert logic and reason to paint existing hierarchies and cultural conservatism as rational. wack

additionally if you're afraid of the state but not corps/individuals accumulating massive amounts of wealth idk man

legendary left wing tech activist

haha that post was pretty much a joke. but i care about skating and making a better world through tech. hbu?

when you get kicked out of the library for juuling inside

Unsend post

stop talking about "gdp" and "tariffs" (whatever that is) on the chain. that stuff is boring who cares

Keynesian at the office
Marxist at happy hour
Crypto-anarchist on the chain

haha i just realized the author lives less than a mile away from me

it's from the book 'Radical Markets' by Eric A. Posner & E. Glen Weyl

i can't believe this isn't irony

Glad you're feeling better, did you go on the train adventure?

Working on this bit where I recreate the 7 days creation story but it's about Al Gore creating the internet

Right on! I cut work early today and had a fun day with my friends. Life is indeed good.

what up peep universe

mission completed

haha no worries when i say things that are red flags on here i'm probably being performative

i'm gonna get so geeked up at my 21st bday party that i fail the turing test

this has a lot of grammar errors and i think it is a moot point

but if anyone wants to clear this up. are there any other concepts to decentralize social media besides running a node yourself (diaspora) or paying a nominal fee thru this sort of blockchain based model?

yeah true. i mean for true immutability store them on swarm or filecoin eventually? also (i think) having a centralized servers that we trust holding these files just in case because a hash is a hash and the blockchain contains the ownership relations

ugh hahahaha

yeah i'd like a clear answer for this. i get having the posts hashed on chain makes the posts immutible and linked to an identity. also makes it easy to build new frontents. but if that database was just stored on IPFS could people just rewrite the posts if they wanted? idk
