RE: A bit of a rant.

in #hive3 years ago

Unfortunately the platform isn't very compatible with too much private communication. There are encrypted memos but this being a blockchain, I don't think it's a good idea to make all nodes perpetually host a bunch of encrypted data meant for a small group or one person to see once and then move on.

Sort:  

That's unfortunate if that's really a limitation of blockchain, in this era of internet bullying/harassment, and again, the people just trying to avoid their abusive ex or something.

It is possible for a Hive-connected service or sidechain to provide something more social and private. But with what we have now, it's not worth the cost.

I hope someone builds that, then.

Look at inji.com by therealwolf. That might be what you're looking for

It's not a limit of the "blockchain", it's only a limit of imagination.

MOST people want to have the option to share their photos and stories with people they know, and not necessarily with the entire planet.

That's why discord is so popular. Each individual has full control over what happens in their "space".

ANY of the "front-ends" (like peakd or hive.blog) could implement an encryption feature that would scramble your posts on the public blockchain and still make them readable for people on your "access list".
