    Yeah. I think the right model may be to use Postgres or traditional DBs for *most* of the system, and a blockchain for the parts people will fight over.

    So things like upvotes, likes, follower counts — and of course money.

    We haven’t seen systems consciously built this way yet.

    What I'm saying is I actually don't think a global number of likes on a post is even a good idea. What's more interesting is how many ppl within my own network have liked a post.

    Otherwise we're just mirroring Twitter along with all the negative behaviors that come with it.

      I understand. I think that in practice, managing any large social network is going to require some way to come to consensus on *some* data structures.

      One way of doing that is N different system administrators, each with root. Another way is through blockchain-like techniques.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
