@callmegwei @patmayr @haje Yes. Also, Taylor @tay has posted extensively on this. Please check out and contribute to her #superpeep (link below). Good mod strategy is a top priority. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JUGZ-39pMJ9p_Udx9Myeua0GegsD9G7hihJ1UaVlPhQ/edit
That's super helpful, and @tay's link is really interesting. Thanks for the deep context!

Your problem is basically with open blockchains generally. Your concern is that data cannot be deleted - which is the *point* of most permissionless blockchains. Not to say dApps couldn't be designed to make deletion possible - but at that point a blockchain is no longer required
Yep. I guess my argument is that a blockchain isn't really required to solve the part I care about (reducing spam), and is actively harmful in other things I care about (some of which I have written about at great length - https://bit.ly/2JLtzBG )

It is the "cost" (if you see it that way) of having a decentralized, uncensorable application. Front ends can filter to protect those that want it but it is important for us to have such a database in order to have liberty. The whole point is no central control or vulnerability.
In my opinion, that's a risk to the whole platform. It's easier to take down (music/movies/images) that infringes on copyright than taking on a whole (RIAA/MPAA/stock agency) agency. Not to mention things like child pornography etc. IMO, that's not 'cost', that's 'risk'.

A bad actor can’t delete their peeps, it is there on the permanent record. Clients can hide content.
I think it's less about 'bad actors' - it's more about actively illegal content. Copyright infringement, child pornography, harassment, racism, etc. I appreciate that not everyone agrees, but I think that some content *shouldn't* be un-deleteable.
The fact that 'peeping' costs tiny amounts of real money makes large-scale spamming unlikely - or at least expensive.
Downside: Having an immutable social network seems like a terrible idea. Illegal content and harassment that can't be erased seems like a bad idea. #Peepeth
I like being a nerd, and being an #EarlyAdopter is fun... But being the 621th user of a service is pretty extreme. Fun, though! #Peepeth.
I'm big into #Photography - see Photocritic.org for that.
Well this is pretty exciting. Hello Peepeth! I'm @Haje on Twitter, too. So that's nifty.
