@k00b Ever consider just not allowing the posting of duplicate links instead of just the warning?
If a user has their feed on recent, they see the second one first and may end up tipping that one, incentivizing posting dupes.
It's in the far distance but I was thinking about this today too, the problem of spam. For this platform, you could make a scale for the expiring of the data based on how much it was tipped, this would put garbage sooner in the bin.
And I saw crossposts from Hive blockchain blogger today first time here. That one was a little more stimulating. I figured out that if you could anonymously pay for hosting of posts and associated media, and tips paid to hosting nodes, you could dispense with the centralised web page and switch out to an IPFS based feed and spam simply would fail to be funded and be deleted when space is needed.
All it requires is a payment/hosting protocol, and the one I'm building for indranet would so easily be extended to support this.
When I have the payment system working maybe I can get someone to build a service that binds to an IPFS node to enable renting storage for time on IPFS pins with anonymous payment, and later, can be anonymous upload when I get the routing working.

Yes, we've also considered making it more expensive to post dupes. Either would work.
We also have the problem of multiple sources reporting on the same piece of news, which is harder to "not allow."

Of course. Blocking same URL would be pretty easy. But maybe the dupe warning in red also warning that it will cost more is better. Incentives seem to work best in Bitcoin and everywhere else.
I think it's important because when one posts a link, the value is not only in the link, but also the community's comments on the link. If the comments are spread out, the value gained from the insightful SN community might be diminished for a user, if he can't find all the other dupes.
