mariabustillos scottbrodbeck ryanvailbrown mathewi I do think there are some interesting tools in there, like IPFS for routing around censorship, decreasing entrant costs for pubs, and more indelible storage could be useful. But combining that with Hypercore could do far more for journalism than blockchain or crypto IMO...On twitter.com

mariabustillos scottbrodbeck ryanvailbrown mathewi It just feels like in trying to think through this, we're putting the assumption that token-based solutions are the right way to answer these questions first, but stepping back it doesn't feel like that's the right tool for most of these problems...Permalink On twitter.com

mariabustillos scottbrodbeck ryanvailbrown mathewi There is only really the question of stake for something like a pay-to-comment system & I just don't think that's a good idea, because it assumes that takes out the requirement for moderation when--outside of the system or site being niche--I don't think that would be the case.Permalink On twitter.com

mariabustillos scottbrodbeck ryanvailbrown mathewi And even if it was, a system where you have standard subscriptions with the ability to put subscription $ toward commenting in a small internal-to-pub blockchain likely has much more viability than forcing participants onto the expensive and extensive public crypto blockchains.Permalink On twitter.com

mariabustillos scottbrodbeck ryanvailbrown mathewi The biggest problem I have with Civil is actually the same as the biggest problem I have with the cryptocurrency-to-comment concept... it assumes that bad actors aren't rich and willing to pay for the privilege of being publicly bad... when reality shows us that isn't the case.Permalink On twitter.com
