Is there a category for platforms like https://scuttlebutt.nz and maybe https://tezos.xyz that use blockchains but are not selling snake oil and/or devastating the climate? It’s too late to use “web3” I think. Maybe mastodon fits in this list too, but it feels more semi-centralized than decentralized.
@akkartik In my mind “blockchain” == “cryptographically signed linked list as a means for storage”. Is that off? (It’s probably off. I’m _just_ diving into this world and trying to figure out the categories.)
@hkgumbs the Jami project has been working on a transport layer called Swarm that's based on git, providing fully distributed communication that's cryptographically signed but not "blockchain" or coin- or token-anything. https://jami.net/first-jami-beta-with-swarm-support/
@hkgumbs I'd say SSB isn't using a blockchain?
