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.

Enjoyed reading your post. You make great points on the pros and cons of immutable publications. 

I think a flat information architecture has opportunities as well. To feature voices that lack resources or networks gain traction.

I'm especially interested in indexing and how search results might evolve.

Thanks for reading. That's a good point. I guess I wasn't think of "flat" in terms of access, but "flat" in terms of organizing. But you are right, the current info hierarchy enforces gate-keeping, so maybe a flatter situation evens things out.
