Wouldn't it be simpler to just store everything on your own and let events ( eg. In DDD applications) just write to the blockchain?

Instead of threathing the blockchain as source of truth?

Well, the important thing is just that requests get sent directly from the browser to the blockchain. If it goes through our servers, it creates a layer of centralization. We do pretty much just store things on our own. When you create a post, it goes out both to our database and the blockchain independently. But I feel that the blockchain should be the source of truth if it's going to be decentralized.
