@lain @dielan @scathach yea and those definitely just seem annoying.

blockchains are valid (but i wouldnt say preferably) solutions to some of the problems of decentralized social media: the problem of identity, and the problem of incentivizing hosting

but i think both of these have non blockchain solutions which would be preferable.

for identity (w3c DID), why not do public key private key identity? someone is identified by being able to sign things with their private key (I believe ssb did this)

incentivizing hosting is harder but perhaps you could do something like what new freenet is trying to do: penalize leechers and give priority to those who participate in the network?
