Just came upon D* and it sounds like a great idea. (I’ve been a reluctant and minimal FB user.) If it grows, however, I imagine that some entities will want to exploit it (like Facebook) to spread false stories and propaganda. Perhaps that is only a distant concern, but sometimes it is wise (and easier) to consider such things in the initial architecture. Just a thought (based on very little understanding). Best wishes!!
