When you say 'abandoned steemit for dapps'; what exactly do you mean?
Are you talking about Busy and Steempeak and so on?
If so, then all of those dapps, run from the Steemit api, what happens on Steemit, happens on them as well.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Dapps are actually dependent on Steemit? Isn't there a way to do it independently?

@celestal, yes as far as I'm aware... I think that Steemmonsters might be independent of Steemit. However every other dapp I've encountered on the Steem blockchain, requires you to have a Steemit account.

Now I think I got it. I watched a vlog of @exyle where he told that several dapps were relying on full nodes provided by Steemit Inc. and that was the reason why there is/was reliance on Steemit. However, Steemit Inc. just released an update where they managed to cut the RAM requirement to run a full node from four hundred something gigs down to 61 gigs, so that probably will help decentralization and reduce dependence on Steemit Inc.
Yes, I mean put less reliance on steemit as a front end and content housing platform! Let the others take over and you just run your API and reduce costs like hosting media etc
I’m not saying a cut off but more of a migration to dapps as apposed to steemit
