Has anyone here been investigating the alternatives that use a crypto/blockchain? Like https://steemit.com, https://busy.org/ (both Steem based), https://www.minds.com, and https://www.ono.chat/en/ (based on an EOS DAPP)?
I've been using Steemit for almost two years now and - while it is bug free - it is not the most attractive interface and getting signed up is not easy. Higher hopes for ONO and others coming.
EDIT: ONO wants passport or drivers license. Ick.
I'm just now signing up with http://minds.com to check it out.
Oh and in case you are not familiar with this category - Distributed Application - there are many benefits, including but not limited to:
- Censorship and take-down resistant; and
- You get paid for your posting, commenting, and curation.
As far as I know, Diaspora and Discord are centralized, yes?

Diaspora is open source and distributed.
ReplyDeleteMathias Kussinger Thanks! That gives me hope. Care to share what you mean - in this case - by distributed?
ReplyDeleteReading up on it now.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. Only Steem — the Steemit currency — can be sold again and turned into FIAT money. Minds token can only be used for boosting content.
ReplyDeleteBTW: Busy and Steemit is not the only front ends. There are tons of them:

https://d.tube
https://alpha.steepshot.io
https://join.utopian.io/
Something for everyone.

Mathias Kussinger Steemit is open source and distributed as well.
ReplyDeleteScott Swain There are multiple Diaspora provider. You can also host your own Diaspora instance. They all form one social network. It doen‘t matter if your friends are hosted on a different provider.
ReplyDeleteMathias Kussinger tried multiple provider / host your own with GNUsocial and it was a pain in the butt.
ReplyDeleteMartin Krischik is gnu social related to Diaspora?
