    Think less “Bitcoin” and more “Freenet.” IMO the point shouldn’t be to try to monetize stuff, it should be to decouple content from the instance it was posted on (i.e., to mirror popular content across instances to distribute the load) while still maintaining control and attribution for the user that posted it.

      But how does blockchain, as a technology, help with that? The Fediverse already has a mechanism for distributing content across multiple instances.
