This is what Steem was supposed to be.

i thought Steemit was more similar to Blogspot/Medium/Wordpress, but with an integrated blockchain..


I wonder if a social media website could be decentralized. Facebook is a social media website and it needs maintenance and backup time to time to work properly. It needs servers to send and receive information. These are servers should be maintained well by man and needs updated from time to time . If Facebook is to be decentralized then its servers should be capable to update itself regularly and should be capable to handle large amount of data efficiently. So in my opinion it is possible but with a lot of work.

You don't need a fully decentralized facebook.. that would be wasteful and is currently unnecessary.  What we do need is for people to have an option: do I want the value of my posting content to go to a corporation or to myself? (via a Steemit-esque version of facebook where you get paid)


You mean no censorship at all, there are so many fake news in facebook feeds that is why facebook implement reporting of such post if a new social comes out with a free  for all I don't think it's going to be healthy but I am not into censorship but there should be a level so to discourage fake news.

facebook uses algorithms to filter out anything but regressive leftist SJW news.
