"Towards Attack-Tolerant Networks" My paper with D.M. Romero on arxiv.org/pdf/1704.02426.pdf

"Centralized networks have single points of failure by definition, leading to a growing popularity in decentralized architectures and protocols for greater fault-tolerance. However, centralized network structure can arise even when protocols are decentralized."

Thinking about using links to other people's threads rather than boosting them, to add friction for others who want to add on.

On reddit, we have a convention of respecting other people's conversations by replacing "www" with "np" so people who follow the link have extra friction before they can comment or vote.
