RE: A New Threat to Social Networks? Proposed US Law (SESTA) Could Shut Down All But the Biggest Social Networks In The Name Of 'Stopping Human Trafficking'. In This Post I Attempt To Improve On John McCain's New Law!
the Steemit team needs to work on a decentralized app and fast. The websites can easily be shut down by the Feds.
When I've asked the steemit dev about it he told me it is already there on github: but 1 - it is not compiled (no exacutable) 2- requires extremely high technical knowldege to get it configured. 3 requires high spec systems to run it.
a simple compile app like the one LBRY has would be sufficient.
if the steemit & busy websites were pulled tomorrow Steem would lose the vast majority of its users.
to get to the root cause of the problems requires political engagement unfortunately - iceland is a shining example in that their 'pirate party' calls the shots now ;)
That is a good point, yes - it would probably be quite a big task to perfect and optimise such an app and I can see how the technical complexity of it would put off the team involved, but maybe at some point it will be the new normal.
