Hey team /words 

I'm writing a post about the permaweb and I was hoping to get some thoughts from others. 

It looks like the default for onchain publications is that posts are archived via arweave and basically become a permanent record. 

Curious to hear how you all feel about this. 

Thx

Here's the result. Lots of wrestling with the concept, but I'm still on the fence about the idea of a permaweb as a default for internet publishing.

Fascinating piece. I like this framing. Here's the crux of it for me, I think: 

"...the biggest issue is not with the underlying tech, which is useful, but the assumption that we need to save everything, forever."
