Set Name is a non-unique display name only. We can't guarantee uniqueness (in a decentral way) except in the BCH address. It's an area for improvement.
The solution to this is going to involve users rating each other for authenticity.
Are you the one who wrote the web-of-trust-esque proposal for memo? Big fan of that idea, hope it gets implemented one day.
Yep, making progress with it, at memberapp.github.io - recently added blocking, down votes and ratings for users
Are downvotes needed for the reputation system?
They are more helpful for weeding out irrelevant or disagreeable posts, but a rep system might draw on any and all info
My only issue with downvotes is if they affect visibility of posts...
Well I think the approach of a website like Reddit is to De-emphasise downvoted posts rather than to hide them all together
btw, i like your suggestions on the Memo UI and improvements on Memo++ - I'd welcome any similar recommendations on improvements for the Member UI.
How about to add remark name for oneself while following others? It's kind of turning passivity into initiative, to solve it.
I guess not, I hope at least we can't have the same avatar. I am not sure how memo does it, but I think the persons sign up username should be the memo username but again not sure how
That would rely on the client, but the memo protocol is decentralized. Probably best method is like with TXs, only the first to set the username is valid (1st on blockchain/timestamp)
