  • you have to trust the database maintainer that they didn’t do anything suspicious, and banks are incredibly suspect institutions.

    I see the value in transparency. But, also see that significant challenge of “having a large network of computers maintaining and continually syncing a redundant data set”.

    Do you have any suggestions on further reading or persons of interest that are actively improving/researching better ways for syncing and maintaining the “database” or framework? Not a company or some crypto firm, but more like a research institution maybe?










  • As the internet becomes more available, mass adoption leads to communities that are very unbalanced. And, more often than not, leaning towards personas we tend to avoid in real life. Reason being, the barrier to entry is not as high. Curiosity is a byproduct of education/environment and lead people to apply resourcefulness to uncover sites/forums/messageboards with like minded people. Yes, echochambers in a way, but these echo chambers were not driven by political beliefs, but rather simple mannerisms and etiquette. Toxicity on sites like Youtube, Reddit, Threads, Twitter, have increased, because Curiosity didn’t drive discovery/account creation, ads or fomo did instead. Mastodon/Lemmy (Fediverse) communities, in my opinion, are still driven by curiosity. For how long, is the question I’d like to impose.
