       What do you ( #fediverse ) think of a social networking done on (via) the #blockchain ? Are there working proof of concept implementations? Since @silverpill already working on PKI\cryptography for fediverse, blockchain seems like a next evolutionary step for social networking, since it's just distributed (cryptographic) database. I'm sorry that I lack resources & haven't put enough effort researching #crypto,  #freenet , #hyphanet . But it seems to me kinda on topic, So I want to hear from people. Maybe I want to hear from people like @ArneBab & @silverpill I don't know here anyone else who work on #p2p social networking.

       @pepper0Many such blockchain-based networks exist, Steem/Hive is one of the oldest, LBRY is also popular.But I think this is the past, not the future. Blockchains are very inefficient, and are generally a bad choice for storing social data, because everything is public, can't be deleted, etc. Almost all of those blockchain-based networks are dominated by a single web client hosted by developers, because it is too difficult to self-host the entire stack.@ArneBab
