RE: Steem clone Weku looks a little shady
Interesting info. I’ve also been of the opinion that Weku is very questionable, so I’m not willing to sign up. Cloning Steem’s open source elements is great, but I can’t stand that the whole site right down to the FAQ is blatant plagiarism of Steemit. I don’t think that gives anyone a leg to stand on to fight plagiarism within the community.
Any info on why there are 3 different Weku front ends already as well? Deals.weku, news.weku, and one.weku? Just curious, either way I don’t see myself using it without a major revamp & reassuring developments.
Hey @bryan-imhoff, sorry for the late reply. Since this comment I've learned quite a bit more and met Kevin Zou and Eric Chen from the WeKu team in a video conference. Its legitimacy has increased quite a bit to me due to that, though I still feel they have very significant hurdles to overcome.
The reason for the different domain names is they have rolled out Communities like Steemit plans to in the future. Everything's on the same chain, but the front-end filters the posts out separately, so if you post on one, your blog will appear blank on the others until you engage there.
