Hi @abadesi I was always fascinated by the phenomenon of "permanency" which is so rare, as almost nonexistent, because the universe is in constant flux. Metaphysics aside, Set in Block is a useful tool for a wide range of use cases. Someone can make a promise to oneself or a beloved one. In politics, a public statement can be made. It is possible to record the authorship of a new idea or design, and in some cases to bypass censorship in places where free speech is limited. I believe that permanent messages have even more use cases that people are yet to discover.

I've thought about the need for making social media posts permanent. It will make people think twice before posting, just like in real life you think twice before speaking. The anonymity factor and the fact that people can just delete their posts makes people say things they normally wouldn't say.
