Cypherpunks invent social-media

This is great news, I followed Ben Goertzel around 2002, who has obviously been influenced to prevent the invention of an artificial brain. But the article doesn't link to any decentralized blockchain social networks that i noticed. I've mentioned some of these before, steemit, qora, .... qora was recently redeveloped under a new name and team. There's an active mainstream one where you can run your own client but i don't remember its name =( There's also a decentralised social network that runs on datproject.org which name i forget. And there's scuttlebutt.nz which needs some development love ... it's really important we get better at giving people access to these, and part of that is linking to them or at least mentioning them to be looked up.

according to wikipedia, minds.com, which ben goertzel mentions, is actually blockchain based. they also have a gitlab open source site. i never knew! the website doesn't say these things! usually when the website doesn't say it means they aren't actually securing their content on a blockchain, just using it for some things. maybe they are though, dunno.
I see no evidence that minds.com is blockchain-based nor distributed, even though wikipedia says it is. It appears to use a centralised database held on a single host, at a quick glance of the developers documentation. The wikipedia article is semi-protected; I don't have the logged-in edit history to fix it. On 1/22/21, Karl <gmkarl@gmail.com> wrote:
