Steemit can't destroy facebook

Steemit can't destroy facebook for a simple reason. Its not the same thing at all.

Facebook is a augmentation of your real life. You can add friend, fin them, know what they are doing. Invite them easily to make event in the real world. What make facebook so strong in the long-term is the "page" system plus "friend" system, both together on the same account. Reddit and steemit for example are just like the "page" system of facebook, there is no "friend" thing here.

I believe Steemit is more a twitter/reddit like.

And the fact you have to give your phone number to make an account on Steemit, WOW ! Where is the privacy in it ? If the state ask steemit about the phone number of a user what will happen ?

I really believe in steemit as reddit/twitter killer. And twitter must die, their "censor policy" against "free speech" is insane. On facebook if you are not a leftist you cant speak at all. You have to agree with the new "politic agenda" or you are a fascist.

Now i hope a new blockchain social network facebook-like will kill facebook, by literally make it seem "old".

Sort:  

Steemot want to very the identity of all members. "Inernational ID" etc like big market, because use just phone number is unsecure about multi account.

Facebook is huge and control a multitude of different networks. I don't think they're going away in a long time.

Do you realize that Steemit doesn't have to "destroy/kill" facebook to be successful? And the requirement of a phone number to register on steemit serves multiple functions: It enables you to regain control over your account in case you get hacked and maybe even more importantly it prevents destabilisation of the voting system through an influx of bots. Honestly I am not quite sure why you hate traditional social networks so much that you want them to "die" or "destroy/kill" them. Also, if you want a decentralized social network that that's a lot like twitter, then have a look at https://mastodon.social/ or if you need messaging capabilities on the steemit blockchain, then check out https://busy.org/ .

in France you can create an unlimited fake phone number for 0.50 cents/u.
