Why Do We Need Decentralised Open Source Social media ?

Ever wonder why do you need it ?
There are billions of users currently using facebook for personal as well as commercial use.
They make a profit as well but when you see about steemit community have you ever wonder what happns if steem it was launched 6 years ago.

Your lives will be completely different if you found this system back then.

I was recently reading about decentralized media & i would like share few best opinions which i found on quora.
Facebook is great.

It can influence billions of people for their own greedy.
It makes money by selling our private data. In the age of facebook, its easy for corporate and government to influence and change peoples opinion.

We unknowingly gave too much power to facebook. Its not good. Like we separated the state from church in many countries. Its very much important and urgent to separate the corporate and government from people.

But still the community power is massive than facebook. Steem is good initiative but still long way to go.

Steemit Pros :-

Already good engagement with some 10K+ people.Rewarding the content creator and consumer with steem dollars awesome idea.

• You own the data.
• Better privacy
• Ads Free
• Completely Opensource
• Decentralised.

Cons :

Lot of features missing.
(likes, chats, pages, groups etc).
Current app as mere discussion forum.UI/UX is not so great.
Money reward alone not a great idea to keep the users engaged.
