None. What problem would having a blockchain/DLT based social network solve?

None. There's scuttlebutt, which was interesting a few years ago but then didn't really evolve into anything more.

But scuttlebutt isn't blockchain, no?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

no, but I thought they were using a distributed ledger of sorts. Looks like that's not true.

If you want to try to connect me

I have manyverse. This is scuttlebutt.

They developed room2 servers. With aliases you can easy join people and the connection gets initiated via the room2 server to stay p2p...

But no one yet will try to use it with me...

Well, there's this really cool game we used to play in school where we'd tape little wood blocks with our names to the chain link fence...

My favourite Blockchain/DLT-based social networks are the ones that take all the cryptobros away from people who aren't cultists.
