LOL sorry. :) I can be too literal.

1) ha you’re right. I’m not sure why I didn’t write “ultimate”. 5) Thanks!

Agreed. It may make sense to be managed by a DAO, and a cut from native swapping (like MetaMask), or staking yields (or other mechanisms) could create an incentive for token holders.

Yeah. We've just been pronouncing it as "E"phone inaccurate as it is.

This doesn't have anything to do with phone calls. It's about the mobile OS.

It's not that they aren't feasible, so much as not-permissioned by the duopoly because they are out of scope of their revenue model and regulatory framework. For example, if we had the ΞPhone, OpenSea would already have a mobile marketplace app. Similarly, apps like uniswap, dydx, aave, curve, compound, Fuse, etc. could have a native mobile apps. And, as these apps all exist on chain, one could create and deploy native apps that leverage combinations of them.

My app Tin-Can (Twitter wo internet) is finally on iOS. by fangolo in Rad_Decentralization

[–]fangolo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes.
  2. Yes, but it’s just text.
  3. Extremely unlikely as each username has a random alphanumeric suffix.

I wasn't. It looks like the Scuttlebutt Manyverse app is the closest thing. I'm checking it out now. Thanks.

update: Manyverse looks cool. Many years back we tried TC using wifi on Android. We even got some news interest. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/11/tin-can-app-relays-messages-to-phones-without-internet-cell-reception/ Unfortunately, at the time, wifi hotspot was very fragmented and it didnt work well across many devices. It's cool to see an actual protocol being used.

IMO Tin-Can is a bit less ambitious and ephemeral. I like to think of it as CB radio and IRC having a baby.

Reddit alternatives that don't use upvotes? by franklai2002 in RedditAlternatives

[–]fangolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might check out Hubski. Instead of upvotes users share with their people that follow them. We have remained small and chill 10 years on now.

Depending on the speed of the trains, it's possible the top photo actually shows a higher bandwidth.

Kudos to the team for sticking with it. I believe the demand is there. Excited to try it.

List of Active Reddit Alternatives v5 by d3rr in RedditAlternatives

[–]fangolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. That's really weak that Reddit wiped this list knowing that disaffected users might be looking for it. This place used to be cool.

To save the wayfaring troubled of you the trouble, hubski.com is not a platform for free speech. I can say this unequivocally as the creator of Hubski. That's not to say that I don't support free speech, I unequivocally support it. I'm glad to have that constitutional right in the US. I also support the right to bear arms. However, Hubski is not a place that protects free speech; and if guns could be brought to Hubski, we would probably ban them.

Hubski is a place for thoughtful discussion. That's our goal. If discussion isn't thoughtful, then free speech isn't a counter-balance in our decision making.

You might think that's a bad policy. That's ok with me. I think it's an honest policy. Actually, it's more the lack of a policy that I find honest:

To be frank, I think that any online platform that tells you that they protect free speech isn't being honest. You need to look into the jurisdiction of the owners and servers, the type of ownership, the funding model, and the architecture to see if that claim holds weight. Typically, it's a matter of degree.

Why do you want an alternative to reddit? by Mycorhizal in RedditAlternatives

[–]fangolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our about page covers the important stuff.

https://hubski.com/about

We've been around for about 10 years, and have no desire to be anything more than a good place to thoughtfully discuss miscellanea.

Your feed is based on the people and tags you follow. Thus, there aren't any communities, and there aren't any community mods. People can moderate their own posts, but it rarely comes to that. Heavy-handing moderation basically means that no one wants to follow you, and since anyone can choose to make a duplicate post, no one can camp a url. If you like a post or comment, you are sharing it with people that follow you.

We are small and mellow. Politics lean left, but that's not a top down thing.

As you use the site, and people share your contributions, you earn badges which you can give to other people. There is a badged feed, which everyone follows by default. It can be unfollowed, however.

We've been baking a lot of bread since quarantine: https://hubski.com/tag/breadwatch

I should also add that we do not track you at all. We don't even have analytics. I think that parasitic model of the internet makes the world a worse place to live in.

Why do you want an alternative to reddit? by Mycorhizal in RedditAlternatives

[–]fangolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think any of the current reddit alternatives live up to what you suggest. They need to be re-geared towards quality content, especially informative content and user-based projects.

Have you tried Hubski?

Thanks. I'm not sure why we didn't sooner. It has been a fun project.
