How will this compare to Steem and Golos? As far as I understand those seem to be Reddit analogs. Will SOL be an analog of some centralized social network, or is it a completely new way of socializing?
Yes it is more like Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat - then it is Reddit or Steemit or Golos. I use it for 4 month straight every day and love the concept. The user quality is very high. The content and the app experience improves and major steps are ahead.
However you can not compare it to any other social media, you have to test it yourself.
