RE: We can't edit posts older than a month? Steemit's weird user anti-patterns :(

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

well, i don't think I am dead wrong because i and others feel and or know what i said is their feeling or thoughts too. I have read past comments and posts over time. But I understand why you disagree.

You added a lot of information in your comment she didn't post about her reasons. So if I had known why she wanted to edit her much older posts maybe I would have said something a little different. BUT i still stand by my original comment.

Really it would be nice. I'm certainly not oppose editing older posts. Got a few on my mind now I'd like to "update" which I think is what she really wants to do and not simple change her opinion which is what i thought she was aiming for.

Sort:  

Well, even if she was aiming for that it would be impossible. Blockchains don't make changes in that manner. It'll always be there, as long as there's a network of nodes, anyway.

Indeed!

this is really a dangerous situation if you look at future possibilities.
suppose someone starts creating virusses or malware on blockchains!
( and probably this is allready happening as I write this, mark my words!)

That would mean it will be impossible to get rid of them.

In fact it is allready possible to use ethereum as a coding platform to create socalled Dapps ( distributed apps ) that exist on a lot of ( distributed) places on the net, which means the apps cannot crash or dissapear: they will be allways here.

Sound a bit like a new lifeform....

Homo Sapiens will die, Homo Dapp will live forever!

As I type this I am constantly aware that everything I type here will exist on the blockchain forever, even long after we are all dead!

Maybe Homo Dapp will be able to delete the then outdated content that is no more of interest for.... Who?
