Decentralization of Social Media - depub.SPACE and Liker.Social | LikeCoin Community News

🔎 Spotlight Story: Decentralized Social Media

The news of technology tycoon Elon Musk's proposed acquisition of Twitter has sparked the public's imagination of Decentralized Social Media, because the freedom of speech, open source and transparency he advocates are the characteristics of decentralized platforms, and the current LikeCoin ecosystem has There are similar projects in development.

Freedom first, privacy by default

Two social media Dapps – depub.SPACE and Liker.Social are open source projects and have many features that help achieve freedom of speech.

There is no need to register an account or leave any personal information to use depub.SPACE, only the wallet address and not the person. In addition, depub.SPACE is a "stateless" service, reducing the amount of information users leave on the network. The above features of depub.SPACE's "privacy by default" are especially important for users in certain politically sensitive areas, because these users often take personal safety risks when speaking.

In terms of technical design, the wallet address is used as a user index, and other "decentralized identity" services can also be integrated. For example, a social identity can be established for the wallet address on the Desmos Network , and the identity can be automatically associated with this identity when depub.SPACE sends a message to this address. , read avatars and self-introductions, etc.

Not your key, not your content

Based on Mastodon, Liker.Social is designed to disperse an oligopolistic social platform like Twitter into small communities, each of which is independent but interconnected. Users who do not have a good time in one community can emigrate to another community.

However, the biggest difference between Liker.Social and other Mastodons is that they can publish Duwen to the LikeCoin chain, so that users can truly own the content, and if necessary in the future, they can further issue NFTs for the works. Liker.Social supports one-click publishing to the blockchain, while depub.SPACE presupposes that all content is on the chain. Both are based on the LikeCoin ecosystem.

Liker.Social also supports civic appreciation and sending LikeCoin directly to support authors.

perpetual publishing

The centralized platform has the right to take the content off the shelf or even delete it; but once the work is published on the blockchain, it will be permanently recorded and maintained by the public from now on. Even if depub.SPACE and liker.social cease to exist one day, you can still view your tweets in other blockchain browsing tools that support LikeCoin (such as app.like.co ).
