Why Social Media Software Sucks

in politics •  6 years ago  (edited)

For me the biggest lack in social media is a proper engine for better discussions. Most social media are not for discussions but for throwing your ideas onto another people. The goal is low - to boost your ego that you are smart ideologist (twitter) , you look good (instagram), you have many friends (facebook) or you are very professional and boring (linkedin). Didn't see yet a real tool for discussions, and this is needed as democracy is suffering without it. The closest there exist is wikipedia. But wiki is more for current knowledge summary. What we need is more a tool for massive knowledge processing and knowledge creation, a boosted version of wiki maybe? For sure must be decentralized, allowing voting, may threads, easy filtering and tagging of comments/posts and also summaries. A real massive media platform created by smart people upwardly. Utopia?

There’s Reddit. But yeah we need it on a decentralized ledger so censorship is impossible. I’m working on this.

The TRYBE name is reasonably good, but I think our Keeper and Uncommons name choices are better. Their KYN token name is gimmicky and I much prefer our cred choice.

Their domain is not even the .com nor the .org. It’s trybe.one. Scaling to millions of users will be difficult when users arrive at trybe.com and it appears also to be some social media site.

I see they have the affiliate program idea I had thought of years ago. They’re awarding 50 tokens for each referral signup. But the problem is they have no means to prevent gaming by hordes of sockpuppets. Ditto they award more tokens for certain actions such 10 tokens per daily visit, but this doesn’t really measure human activity because it can be automated by bots.

Also posting is charged 50 tokens! Wtf!

Also as you noted it is based on the EOS platform which is apparently the clusterfuck I predicted it would be.

Also they’re planning an ICO token sale in December which I think is insane given the accelerating enforcement activity from the SEC against illegally issued securities. Realize that the left in the USA is attempting to shutdown Alex Jones by cutting off his Paypal and credit card merchant accounts after banning him from major social media platforms. They’re even attacking Gab.ai (now gab.com) because it hosted Alex Jones content. So for sure after Alex Jones (and other “undesirables”) turns to cryptocurrency to fund his InfoWars programming, the left (and banks which the global mafia will use to support the left) which is going berserk no later than 2020, is going to go after vulnerable cryptocurrencies and their principal issuers. So it is very naive to be messing around with a potentially illegal ICO at this juncture.

Regarding Alex Jones, he and his likes are obviously FSB propaganda agents of the demoralization stage, which according to Bezmenev, had already been completed decades ago.

If it is not enough for you, consider Paul Craig Roberts and Jim Willie whom I heard each say in his own voice that "Putin is my hero".
Both were obviously interviewed by Alex Jones and his ilk.

Is gab.ai decentralized BTW?
Does it offer financialization of any sort?

And what makes KYN illegal and cred legal?

OK agree Reddit is not bad social media. But I'm thinking what we need more is a kind of massive knowledge processing engine, slightly described here. In short it would serve to apply kind of software production process to e.g. law creation where social network (very big community) could be involved. It could revolutionize how people work together in my view. Ticket (problem to solve or sth to improve)->Categorization->Team (or few teams) assignment-> Cost estimation->Whitepapers->Voting for best solution->Implementation
