DECENTRALISED SOCIAL MEDIA IS HERE TO STAY. INTRODUCING STEEFUN

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

In recent weeks, the safety of customers data has become a huge topic. With the revelations emanating from the Facebook saga, it is becoming clearer to all that what was believed to be free is not actually free. The cost? Your privacy being breached and sold to the highest bidder.

One constant in life is change, and the future revolves around decentralisation; out with the old, and in with the new.

Already an advocate of decentralised social media? Well this post might interest you. If you are not, read on. Seeing you are here on steemit, the odds of you becoming one are high.

WHAT IS STEEFUN?
Just like on Steemit, you get paid to do what you love. SteeFun is a platform built on the Steem Blockchain that ensures you get rewarded for providing quality content to other users on the platform.

According to whois.com, SteeFun’s domain name was registered on the 28th of February, 2018.

Uploading content to the platform is supported in many formats, as can be seen below.

Thinking of conducting a poll? (Voting to make decisions or determine opinions)

Creating a meme?

Uploading a video? (Youtube, vimeo and vine embeds are supported)

Uploading images? GIF’s are also supported.

Uploading an audio file? SoundCloud and Mixcloud embeds are supported.

Need to conduct a personality quiz? (Series of questions that intend to reveal something about a personality)

Need to conduct a trivia quiz? (Series of questions with right and wrong answers that intends to check knowlesge.)

Post a story?

Create lists?

Create a countdown? (The classic internet countdowns)

Create an open list? (Submit your own item, and vote for the best submission)

Create a ranked list? (Upvote or downvote to decide the best list item)

Tags are also on the platform to sort posts into categories.

SIGNING UP

Seeing the platform is built on the Steem Blockchain, you can login with the same credentials you use on Steemit (it’s integrated with Steemconnect). If you do not have a Steemit account, you will be redirected to the Steemit Signup page to register.

There are also "trending", "hot", and "popular" categories, like you have on Steemit.

CONCLUSION
I think the platform has some potential, but something needs to be done about the not so appealing UI. There are also a couple of typos, so they could really use a professional proofreader, or at least, someone with native writing proficiency.

All in all, the site is easy to navigate, and it is also great to see more decentralised solutions springing up. It can only get better for SteeFun.

Besides, who does not like an extra avenue to get heard and make money?
Go check it out now, and thank me later.
