RE: Creating Decentralized Social Media - Let's Talk About It

in Threespeak3 years ago

Hive falls into a very specific category of users, it is not a social network like Twitter or Facebook, I think it is much more for Blockchain fans and although total decentralization is an impossible dream (there will always be spheres of influence and therefore power) I think it is a nice community if we can guide it and be popular in some niche, for example blockchain games seem to be very popular recently, let's focus more resources there and surely there will be good results.

Yes, Hive as a blockchain is much more than Facebook or Twitter. And in addition to games, many kinds of applications can be built on a blockchain. This technology is probably currently just/only in the beginning. Or at least in an early stage/phase.

What you're referring to will be the future of Hive, as far as I can see. With @blocktrades working on HAF, Hive can/will be the backbone of different applications - some of them being social in nature.

I have seen the blocktrades developers quite active in the last weeks, it is a good sign that things are changing daily for the better, thanks for the comment, I am always learning a little more from you to better understand how Hive works.

Decentralization is never the goal. Censorship resistance is. Censorship resistance is 100% possible, it does take effort to nurture tho.
