RE: Should it be optional for text-content on Steem to be immutable?

  • No, my content should always be immutable.

You misrepresented this question by using the word "MY".

It would have been better to word it as follows:

  1. Text posted on Steem's blockchain should be immutable.

There is nothing stopping Steemit and other Dapps from making additional features such as text that expires, text that can be deleted and text with end-to-end encryption but I think that should be separated from the "Town Square" text as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg described.

Mark called Facebook the "Town Square" referring to the content being seen publically and said that he would start creating messaging apps with End-to-End encryption. This needs to eventually be done by Steemit too.

No. What I wrote is exactly what I meant. Your content. Adding this functionality doesn't require an HF, so the question is directed towards end-users.

I think it should definitely be possible to post text that is immutable - I for one want that for myself and I think there should be a badge for people who post nothing but immutable content if you allow people to post text that can be edited, twisted and lied about.

  1. U.S. President Donald Trump is one example.

Politicians, business people and others is another example but as long as you make a clear distinction between accounts the post immutable text and accounts that should be trusted less.. I am okay with this 👍

Thank you @therealwolf

I am familiar with that and it's true but I think it should be incorporated with comments and posts if we want to address the ideas that @therealwolf is referring to.
