I haven't heard of Akasha and like @bigedude I thought it said Alaska at first haha.

I find the name interesting, I imagine it refers to the akashic records belief

I have to fully agree that fixed gas price is not beneficial. If I had to pay to post, I'd probably be less interested in discourse and more interested in maximizing my Akasha usage, which for me would defeat the purpose of social media.

In short, I'd end up at a Steemit if I were presented with an Akasha
