@WClayFerguson@noagendasocial.com I'm not sure to be honest. I haven't looked into that recently. Though remember that this systems are often more high latency data transmission than storage per-se.

@tzlo @orionwl @stephanlivera @raucao @mir_btc of course, wait till the mastodon version actually gets some discussion. 😂

@tzlo @orionwl @stephanlivera @raucao @mir_btc I'm thinking of blocking replies, and then having a link to a mastodon copy as "for further discussion"

@untappedgrowth @robingrant @kexkey Well, like I said, try doing something relatively simple like PGP web-of-trust first and see how far we get.

@bryancyan @livestradamus @jeremy@bitcoinhackers.org that's because technically speaking it's just a link. Mastodon doesn't have retweets.

@untappedgrowth @kexkey @robingrant "just" :)

@robingrant @untappedgrowth @kexkey Voting algorithms like reddit's always have to put significant effort into weeding out bots.

@untappedgrowth @kexkey @robingrant Human networks don't operate at web scale. When they do, they practically always just use central authorities for trust. That's what politicians, media, and lately, social networking is.

@robingrant @untappedgrowth @kexkey well, again, I'd advise you to keep it really simple: does or does not this key belong to who it says it does?

@robingrant @untappedgrowth @kexkey if you could define spam formally in a smart contract algorithm why not use just that algorithm to block the spam to begin with?

@untappedgrowth @kexkey @robingrant anyway, I think a good first start would be to just make a usable UI for the PGP web of trust. Keep it simple: a tool to let you go from roots to trust to keys you want to be use to verify.

@untappedgrowth @kexkey @robingrant one of the problems of delegating trust is moderation is a lot of work...

@crunklord420 yeah, I did the simplest possible thing: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon

What's good about Plemora?

@bryancyan @untappedgrowth @kexkey But notice how most federations are a fairly simple trusted admin + mods model? If that's enough, fine. But it's not exactly what the Web of Trust was supposed to be.

@bryancyan Exactly. I've actually seen that first hand myself when I visited China a few years back. Even a SSH tunnel could get detected and blocked if it started passing too much traffic.

@TheMadHodler @ibz @verretor @stephanlivera @nvk simplest way: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon

@untappedgrowth @kexkey Not clear really. Hardly anyone has tried lately. Keybase is probably your best example.
