it's quite bizarre how people don't get it that social media doesn't need a consensus, it just needs a strong guarantee of delivery to interested parties
all the kids in scalable ecom dev get it... amazon uses it for their sites, ebay uses it, there is dynamo and there is kafka... nostr is built on the same architecture... and i'm not even pointing out that almost all social media silos use this type of publish/subscribe architecture, that's how you can message your friends in america and europe and asia from one front end in australia or new zealand, the system passes relevant messages between data centers
