Announcing a New Series on Alternative Social Media Platforms

in #steemit7 years ago


Sick of Twitter/Facebook/YouTube/Instagram/reddit and all the other controlled, centralized, censored, surveilled social engineering experiments masquerading as "free" social media platforms? Well so am I! Join me in the coming weeks on corbettreport.com as I take a look at some of the alternative social media platforms that are coming online to challenge the big corporate giants.

Hey James, it'd be great if you would consider my own social network called ureka.org (Earth Heart Community) - which focuses on healing, balancing and evolving. I haven't been able to build it as much as intended in the last year+ because I have been helping build Steemit/Steem - but it is likely I will soon be integrating a Steem based Smart Media Token so that posts can receive payout on Ureka too.. Plus other fun features will be added too.

Ureka is intended to combine social features with a functional learning platform and information repository. Any feedback is welcome. <3

Visited ureka.org. What are you planning to create here? The learning platform is limited to healing, balancing and evolving? Good to know.

Also, like I asked Crobett... Is this only for comments or videos or both?

Greetings! The learning platform is not specifically limited in any way - you can use if for whatever (lawful) purpose you want that is within the terms & conditions.. However, the intention of the site is to facilitate healing, balancing and evolving - yes.

The essential aim for the platform is available in the 'about' section on the site, however, I am planning to extend it to include a post reward system, probably an SMT - plus other great features too. The system will be a hybrid so that post can either generate rewards and be publicly distributed on the Steem blockchain or can only be stored in the Ureka database and so will not receive payouts, but can be published with privacy restrictions applied (which is not possible when publishing to Steem).

Oh ok! Great! Thanks for the info! Will see if I can contribute too.

I'm just going to stick to the corbettreport.com social media site. It's full of awesome people with much value in the content.

Exactly why I joined Steemit!!! 👌😊

Kill YouTube
The censorship has gotten out of control!

I am in the process of quitting facebook and youtube because of censorship and the mindless advertising push by said companies .. it will be great to get some other options and i totally agree with what your saying there.. look forward to your findings :)

Finding a social media icon for Steemit is a real challenge. Best I could find was this logo , which will then need to be massaged in an image editor to match your existing social media icons. Would be great if it was easier.

Excellent, looking forward to it, and timing-wise too as so many are not sure what the alternatives are.

Awesome Video !
