Ask HN: Why isn't there an anonymous communications platform on the blockchain?

from the ask-hn dept.

It seems like there is a great need in the world for an anonymous message board (like reddit, HN, etc.) build on a blockchain that prevents it from being shut down. A sort of communications protocol for people to use without fear of moderation or limitation of free speech, other than the downvotes of the other users.

There's Steemit:

Though I didn't try it yet as they closed registration for a while (there was a hack).

Is blockchain really necessary? Isn't http://voat.co trying to be the much more libertarian alternative to reddit?
