Nope, that could still be done with a regular database. Blockchain has no practical use case.

Nah, There’s other ways to store data while preserving confidentiality, integrity and availability that isn’t on the blockchain. Besides A public ledger connected to a specific profile could make it easier for the profile to be doxxed/fingerprinted.

Spitballing here but a service using simple key-pairs might be a better way to do this.

• Users generate a key pair client-side.

• Public key is stored on the server, acting as the user’s identity.

• To update their profile, users sign the request with their private key. (Data is signed/verified client side before submission)

• The server verifies the signature using the stored public key before edits can be made.

Because data signature/verification are done client side theoretically you don’t need a ledger, your client can enforce profile state. (Maybe an HMAC is sent with the verified data and there reverted periodically by the client)

Just public key cryptography. All your actual posts and comment history are already shared. What is missing is a way to authenticate yourself to anyone but your home server. If the protocol included every profile having a public key, you could then use that to authenticate to any server. And managing that private key is no more complicated than managing your private key in a block chain context.

Non public info like subscriptions is a bit more complicated, because there is an actual policy question of who you share it with. You would either need to make it publicly available, keep a copy yourself, or have your home instance give it to you/the other server at the time you want to migrate.

Yeah it’s nice to be able to import your list of subscriptions at least. But for comment history, I guess it depends what you’re getting out of a place like this. On Reddit, I liked going back sometimes and seeing what I was posting a couple of years ago. Especially if it’s personal shit, or even old review posts for movies or whatever. I like having a stable online presence or identity with a history to refer to.

A pretty normal one?

I’m a white male, ssssoooooo

Sarcasm?

Nice!

Print it out onto a million fortune-cookie-paper-sized pieces of indestructible paper and send them to the wind. Let microplastics do some good for once.

I bet they’re home addresses haven’t.

I have definetely made a few typos though.

Susan W near the bottom is also “who”. She is White House Chief of Staff, so maybe that indicates White House employees differently from doge-specific employees.

idk.

I’m not exactly a baby-maker myself. I am quite anti-natalist as a matter of fact.

Now? That shit has been going on since the 90s. My native population has plateaued since 1990. The only reason the population grew was due to immigrants.

Same goes for America where a LOT of the populations got fewer and fewer kids since the 90s.

After they destroyed any sense of community? Pushing individualism might be what has led to this

Central and South America as well. Canada can be fine

or my current favorite" you shouldnt call everyone a nazi, if you dont agree with them" thats exactly what you should be doing if your spouting pro-nazi statements. i had to block someone on lemmy for saying that, had enough of that on reddit already

I’m just being politically neutral when I say the trans are making eggs unaffordable.

Lol I’ve been here awhile, but, yes.

You might want to check to make sure they didnt undelete it. They did that to me

i had one for 11-12 years for sole purpose for a nintendo game, then i forgot i made various throwaways and sub specific accts, to avoid invasive bans, personally thier bans are way to harsh for the slightest mishapp, it all started with trump the first time around, he just made every site too overly sensitive on what they can ban. not only were they targeting “conservative trolls” but now you cant even imply “something should happen” to said gop, conservative. my funniest response i got was, your not allowed to use “black, or demographic, because that sounds racist” also if you accidentally use the wrong word like “her or him on a transgendered person”. while when trolls imply violence on "left leaning " people they almost never get removed or dont eradicate that behaviour.

Yeah why not. I sure hope they have OCR enabled

I’m new around these parts. First post, here goes:

Yep, date of birth is 71 so it’s very unlikely to be an automatic initials+random number username.

He is ripping out U.S government parts, laying off workers without any regard to consequence, and fiddling with parts of the government which shouldn’t be fiddled with.

hes indiscriminately firing any federal agency workers, especially the agencies that were investigating him. and its allegedly said in the news hes trying to “distance himself from all the firings”

Well, not that I approve of the practice, but you could find site logins that the email is used in, breaches that it’s been in (potentially finding (old) passwords).

With that info, if not for identity theft directly, can be used for fishing and profiling.
