Greetings fellow BitcoinTalkers,

I'd like to start a discussion about decentralized social media platforms, and their importance in today's world. With the recent wave of censorship and deplatforming on centralized social media platforms, it's clear that we need a more resilient and censorship-resistant alternative.

There have been several attempts at creating decentralized social media platforms, such as Mastodon, Diaspora, and Steemit. However, these platforms still rely on centralized servers and can still be shut down by governments or corporations.

One interesting solution to this problem is the creation of a truly decentralized social media platform, built on top of blockchain technology. This would allow for the creation of a platform that is completely owned and controlled by its users, with no central point of control.

One such platform that was discussed here on BitcoinTalk a few years ago was a platform called Twister, which was similar to Twitter and Reddit, but completely decentralized. It was built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain and used peer-to-peer networking to ensure that it could not be shut down by any central authority.

However, there have been many other developments in the field of decentralized social media since then, and I would love to hear from others who are working on similar projects. What are the latest programming paradigms being used in the development of decentralized social media? What are the biggest technical challenges that need to be overcome in order to create a truly decentralized platform?

Let's use this thread to have a technical discussion about decentralized social media platforms, and how we can build a more resilient and censorship-resistant future. Together, we can create a platform that is truly owned and controlled by its users, and that cannot be shut down by anyone.

Actually the name of that p2p blogging platform that had the best of twitter reddit and blogger was not twister or voertexlogger. I've been trying to remember the name of a blockchain-based platform that was being developed by a Brazilian researcher a few years ago, and I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me out.

From what I recall, the platform was designed to be a sort of decentralized social media network that combined elements of Twitter, Reddit, and a blogging platform. It used blockchain technology to ensure that the platform couldn't be censored or shut down, and it was touted as a way to promote free speech and open discussion.

The researcher behind the project was reportedly a physics or nuclear physics researcher who was also an avid outdoor sports enthusiast. I remember being impressed with the idea and thinking it had a lot of potential, but for the life of me, I can't seem to remember the name of the platform!

Does anyone else remember this project or know what happened to it? I'd love to hear more about it and whether it's still being developed.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!
