Why do people believe #Bluesky is on #Blockchain or that accounts are #NFT? Where did this myth start and why have they not done basic research? I spotted this on #Threads.

@chiefgyk3d I know of a #SocialMedia platform that is on the #Blockchain:

#Scuttlebot
https://scuttlebot.io

Needless to say it's garbage and a #privacy #nightmare!

Scuttlebot peer-to-peer log store

@kkarhan that’s a new one. I may edit in a quick clip saying neither threads, Mastodon, nor Bluesky run on blockchain

@chiefgyk3d Also fir #decentralized storage there are better options like #IPFS...

I've yet to find any #blockchain that is even remotely competitive with #Akamai as a #CDN in terms of #Storage and one would be better off building a personal "HarderDrive" by using i.e. https://oshi.at ...

@kkarhan which is funny as a few cryptocurrency projects for NFT I’ve seen use IPFS. IPFS is pretty nice but I helped block it at work too because well reasons

@chiefgyk3d granted, IPFS has it's own URL and there are just few IPFS relays like https://ipfs.io

  • OFC using IPFS to host and distribute malware is nothing new. Unlike abusing Filehosters like MEGA, https://oshi.at, et. al. there isn't like a central AbuseReport thingy where you can just say "malware", link a VirusTotal report to it and call it a day.

And to answer @damon's question:

  • Akamai is a classic CDN and whilst very expensive, it's reliable and still cheaper than using Ethereum or any other Blockchain to store data on, but since he's a CryptoBro, he just vomited into my mentions and then dipped like a coward...

@kkarhan

What’s Akamai? How do those options compare to Storj and Airweavew?
