Another idea i heard was turning this into something like twitter.  Which is, i'm told, what mastodon.social is.  That's also intriguing.  It has never been clear to me what mastodon even is.  Or if its worth it at all to use it here.  For publishing its not necessary because there could be easier ways to build a "social" aspect into a platform for people to communicate.  Twitter itself struggled with having a business model, as i remember. But Twitter is also too politically correct and kicks people off regularly.  So someone will eventually want to find a blockchain, or some kind of technological solution to move away from it.  That could be itz, if there's a business model. 

There are technological limitations for us.  We might not have the skills in our community to build any of this.  Maybe there's nobody that knows how to create a dapp.  So my own idea would be impossible for this project.  And i've heard that for mastodon is too difficult to incorporate. 

I don't know what skill sets for development are available going forward.  Whatever those limitations are they also have to be part of the discussion.
