RE: A New Decentralized Social Media Platform : Sapien
What a waste of time!
I looked through the various pages, but did not find any information as to what kind of posts are acceptable. News and crypto-currency seem to be all.
Do I need to pay or am I given a small startup sum, as loan or gift. No mention.
Still, I decide to check it out by signing up.
Horrors of horrors!!!!
What do I find? To sign up, I must either do it through FaceBook or Google? Really, this is a facade for the enemies of freedom?
Not in a million years.
#maxwell95 didn't you check it out before making this post?
Steemit exists BECAUSE both those organisations are trying to censor the internet and as our enemies, you promote them? I hope it was by mistake.
btw - where you were born, lovely country, but I have some horrible memories of it, but I was born in Nairobi.
Hello @authur.grafo...i did some research on sapien and didn't blindly post... :) Wasn't really promoting them either... The project interested me and i decided to make a post on it... I'm also thinking having other steemlike blockchain projects coming up isn't that bad. Competition is actually good...
Signing up on steem also requires you to use your google/yahoo email by the way so that is not an issue...This is only meant for account verification...
Sorry, but you are wrong. I do not have an email with either and it did not cause me any problems.
As for it being only for account verification: Oh boy, you obviously are not aware of how they are collecting our data...facebook even gave our data to China. If you want to comment on YouTube, you must sign in under these exact conditions. Why? Because they want your data. Why do you think FB bought whatsapp? Those who do not trust them, their photos and info is on whatsapp, so FB got them anyway.
It is not a case of competition. All these corps are losing their members by the millions: Face Book; You Tube; Google (everbody is trying to use alt search engines); Twitter. People are moving away because either they were blocked or censored. The alt media: Steemit; Gab.ai and minds are providing the same services, but without censoring ANY of their members.
I was not being nasty, I honestly consider it VERY important each person makes an informed decision about their future. Please go to alt news sites (and those I mentioned above) for you to know what is really planned for us and why I am paranoid about them (I even get angry when I see steemit opening a page and urls for facebook and google show up). At least I use ghostery, which stops them from tracking me (use it if you do not).
