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.
