A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The biggest issue is who pays for the server infrastructure at scale.
The Fediverse seems like a good place to implement a distributed, block chain based peering setup. Join a community and share the hosting
OMG why do tech bros try to force blockchain into everything
I think at this point even tech bros hate people that try to insert the blockchain and cryptowhatever into everything.
Think less "Bitcoin" and more "Freenet." IMO the point shouldn't be to try to monetize stuff, it should be to decouple content from the instance it was posted on (i.e., to mirror popular content across instances to distribute the load) while still maintaining control and attribution for the user that posted it.
But how does blockchain, as a technology, help with that? The Fediverse already has a mechanism for distributing content across multiple instances.
