Okay, but the immutable references sure make it hard to get rid of stuff once you've put it up there...
I much prefer the DAT protocol, which has mutability built into its assumptions about how people will use it.
I know you could do the same thing with an immutable protocol, but Scuttlebutt is a perfect example of why immutability shouldn't be the default. Try deleting something you put on there and maybe you'll see why. I couldn't figure out any obvious way to do this. I'd imagine that's because nobody has coded the "mutability feature" for deleting posts.
Mutability needs to be built in. You shouldn't have to reinvent the wheel (mutability) every time you need it.
Beaker Browser/DAT is a much more interesting decentralized experience in my opinion.
