I Built a Forum Where Posts Live Forever on the Blockchain

Which is also a feature. What are you going to do when your forum is filled with spam and hate?
> accounts get banned
Same as above, that’s a feature.
> and years of contributions disappear overnight
Unless, of course, they were archived somewhere like, say, The Internet Archive.
> your words are truly yours
What does that mean? Your words are yours in any other system.
> and every post is permanently on-chain.
So all the spam, hate, doxing, typos, and every dumb opinion you changed your mind on and regret saying will remain etched for everyone to see forever with no recourse? How are you even going to square that with laws like the GDPR?
> It’s my attempt to give people back ownership of their voice
Again, what does that mean? How are your words not yours in other systems?
> and to make online conversations matter again
They do matter now. I have no idea how you can claim they don’t, and that having them on a permanent record is the solution for them mattering.
Plus, assuming this would even get off the ground, the bidding system is such a perverse incentive it would absolutely skew the conversation for those with the most money, thus making a bad system worse.
No “account bans” — your wallet is your identity.
Contributions don’t disappear — chain keeps them forever.
“Your words are yours” = no platform edits or owns them.
Spam/hate? Community bidding buries it; low-value posts won’t rank.
GDPR? Off-chain frontends can hide without altering chain.
Anyone can boost posts — even small bids affect ranking.
I hope those argumets clears your thougts, remember whatever you do in blockchain it wont be changed.
So the mechanism works in the same way:
You enter an amount, then generates the transaction with a message.
All replais are store in a db and not in blockchian, only the main threads.
