[Social-discuss] distributed social networks (was: blockchain)

[marc]

Quoting and compelementing kenneth points below. But first, top-posting 
since i feel it a new thread :!

I am asking many hopeful questions, i hope are all on topic and none are 
too lammer :)

My initial question is how can it be envisioned to have all these 
featurings
in a place where you can configure to enable/disable them at a user 
level, while rely in different tools/APIs..
I remember elgg profile dashboard and groups contents doing quite well 
this at a user level, although this was
already quite advanced at a usability level, it was much easier to 
achieve than this, since all was their own API.

I dont know if within ethereum anyone could provide this easy packing, 
or if there is some specific project for that or if holochain.org 
approach could reach to handle this.

By the way, how to make any action to rely in more local consensus, 
instead of all those global ones? in this regard there is this 4 minutes 
interview with Mark S. Miller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21R259Wei2w
has other many videos about it, and he is related to this other project 
(whitepaperless)

this is the basic dependence, for starting scaling up, so up to what 
points needs to or can be extended or needs which additional hardcoding?

> You’ll have !groups on a colony/district0x/aragon chain,

forums and mailing lists as well? ;)

> #tags will be part of an ever moving meme market (hashtag market),

i attach a small mockup of some related thing to this im building it
crowdsourcing values-adjectives-human values, for using them as profile 
descriptors (choose 6 main), and for content's categories. up to the 
extent of a karmarket where you sell "hearts" or "dislikes" since you 
are too lazy to create content yourself (they give you hearts when you 
create post-curated content) (ridiculuos to sell hearts maybe, but as 
proof-of-concept is useful).

what about steem.io?

what about singularityDTV? or d.tube (steem.io based)

i guess you mean "content curator". however, if he is giving his 
interactive data to the commons-system, an evolved 
ArtificialGeneralInteligence could use the browsing timings as decision 
(if you stay more than 5 senconds watching something it gets x value.., 
etc)

otherwise please share more info about such proof-of-presence concept.

presence is a very mergy concept, not enough used in neuroscience 
nowadays..

this is related to what i was rising up about the local consensus above,
but in a more interesting side-level.

ok, we arrive to the beginning again :)

so it is a improvement of etherscan what we should get as an initial 
more formal spec?

luvely domain name!

reminds me that you havent said anything about decentraland as graphic 
for a more gamy environtment
or cymatics for a more sinestesic simbolic representations of contents
