Fakebook Exodus: Is Minds.com a Contender?

in censorship •  6 years ago 

I still have concerns about Minds and MeWe. Yes they are accessible, moreso than Steemit, and I enjoy using both. However, if the recent FB and Google+ debacles have anything to teach us it's that centralised platforms cannot be trusted. Both Minds and MeWe are big on promises about privacy (so was WhatsApp), yet both have areas of vagueness within the terms of service. Although Minds code is open source, neither is a truly distributed platform.
While I have noticed a large group of my contacts from the G+ liberty forums moving to MeWe which is good in that I will be able to keep in contact, the lack of concern about the implications of investing in a new closed-source centralised platform is somewhat disheartening.
It will be interesting times for social networking as we evaluate new business models, but for me Steemit still holds the crown for the essentials of what a social platform needs to be considered secure, at least until something better comes along.
