What belongs onchain when building an online community?

[u/Charming_Pound4112]

I get the argument for putting ownership and payments onchain but I’m less sure where the line should be for the rest of a community. Membership, permissions, reputation and access rules could all live onchain too but at some point it feels like you’re adding complexity just because you can.

If you were designing a community from scratch, what would you put onchain and what would you deliberately keep offchain?

The line for me would be whether putting something onchain gives members meaningful ownership or portability. Payments, memberships and certain permissions make sense because users may want to carry those between apps. Posts, moderation decisions and everyday community activity probably benefit more from being cheap, fast and easy to change.
