This is clever and interesting, but I&#x27;m not sure it addresses the central problem.<p>Reddit made the news in the last year for some (mostly unfair) claims of censorship. However, rather than directing censorship which the plebes had to accept, the social pressure from the plebes necessitated these overt acts. For weeks afterward with FPH, we kept reading comments like &quot;well, what about coontown?&quot;. These commenters may have felt they were being ironic, or espousing fairness (hey, what&#x27;s good for one is good for the other), but the collective&#x2F;aggregate effect was to clamp down even further. These same people are the ones who were able to push Reddit&#x27;s management in that direction in the first place.<p>These people won&#x27;t disappear if you implement blockchain-reddit. (Though, there&#x27;s probably a plausible argument that they might stay away.) There will be no blockchain-reddit management to pressure into overt censorship, but they ruined reddit long before they got that far. They&#x27;ll ruin this too. Downvotes are, after all, a &quot;fuck you&quot; and not a &quot;you&#x27;re fallacious&quot;. Disagreements are, after all, evidence that the other person is wrong&#x2F;stupid&#x2F;uncool, and not a difference in perspective.<p>The problem is people, and there is no computer science fix for that.
