Dither messaging specification
Dither Decentralized messaging for all Cosmos blockchains What is Dither? Dither is a specification for CosmosSDK (and other Tendermint-based) chains to implement Twitter-like functionality by simply utilizing the transaction’s MEMO field. By leveraging the MEMO field of a transaction, any Cosmos zone can host a censorship-proof conversation on the blockchain, in a censorship resistant way. Dither is not a product, but a specification. Anyone can create a Dither compliant blockchain, and anyone can create a Dither compliant message browser. How does it work?

Any spaces immediately following the “#” will be discarded (left and right trimmed). Transactions with empty memo fields are ignored for the purpose of Dither. • Viewers such as blockchain explorers must display the first signer’s bech32 address. The message must be sanitized and escaped so as to prevent scripts from running. For safety, links should NOT be clickable, but remain as plaintext, unless the URL passes the viewer’s whitelist. Text that looks like URLs should be…

To allow convention to be formed by the community underneath this decentralized specification. Love this:
The spec is intentionally kept simple, so as to allow convention to be formed
by the community.
A scary but necessary reality to accept:
Why do we need Dither?
The Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal has already proven that private
interests can work with private social media companies to even sway government
elections.
Thank you for this signal prop
I look forward to hearing what others have to say about this! #together
Honestly, I think Cybers solutions is much better. There is indexing. Economics, etc
