I had the hiccups. I cured them by looking at the news.

@cwebber @emacsen Good point. Let me try to pontificate a bit more.

Systems like traditional PGP keyserver networks, where anyone can upload signatures, or Bitcoin blockchain, where too many people can upload, say, child porn, and it can't reasonably be removed, are problematic. I'm less worried about whether removal can be forced against objections, and more worried whether the system is ready for it at all.

A rockstar developer is someone who trashes hotel rooms and throws TV sets out of the window.

@cwebber @ptvirgo @lxoliva If I only ran software I trust, I wouldn't run any software, ever.

@emacsen @cwebber For the longer term, I think it might be good to consider how the document can live long without getting obsolete.

Much of the mid-90s advice on combating spam in email was obsolete by 2000. It'd be nice to build something more lasting for the fediverse.
