PeakD - A Partner in Decentralized Social Media with True Ownership

It is a website built on Hive blockchain, and it is a proof of stake, so others with stake vote and earnings are split.

Some people make quite a handsome amounts, while others near nothing, so a tribal system.

If you know about it, what is your opinion or experience?

    It looks interesting, I didn’t know about it. Have you tried it? What has your experience been?

    @Alice@hilariouschaos.com have you?

    It’s a bit unclear to me what they mean by “decentralized”, is the content stored on the blockchain? In my opinion Proof of Stake tends to be a pretend-decentralization, so I really wonder what that looks like here.

    I wonder if the underlying objective is to use the social platform to make the crypto feel like it has a use (and hence value).

      I’ve tried it in the past maybe like a year and a half ago two years ago. They definitely have a lot more communities now and the activity seems at least kind of recent. But I’m just not really a fan of crypto-built social media, only because I feel like it takes away people’s creativity I guess and realness? If that makes any sense.

      Like people post s*** to get the most tips or whatever and when it comes down to cryptocurrency social media networks what are they always talking about? Cryptocurrency. I’m not interested in cryptocurrency I’m interested in communities talking about b*******, advice scary stories you know stuff like that so I can just kind of feel like it takes that Focus away and puts it right on to cryptocurrency and that’s not what I’m interested in.

      That’s why I get fed up with no sir and take breaks from it because it gets to a point where it’s just overwhelmingly cryptocurrency and I could care less about that.

        This is correct. They reward a lot of things cryptocurrency related, but I think that is predominantly on LeoFinanace which is their finance frontend. They have other things too but mostly people with bigger stakes in their wallets get attention and votes. I also prefer places where I can talk about variety of things.

            Now never. Last time previous month. I don’t have time to participate in all of these places, so I choose ones that I like and can manage. I am pretty much always tight with time, but currently I have a very little of it.

      Objective of value has already been achieved, they are seven year old community that forked away entire userbase, tools and an assemble of devs after STEEM pre-mine was resold to a person they didn’t like.

      They have a card battle game called Splinterlands, but on market we can buy stuff not only with HIVE ( that’s their token) but with money and various crypto. My experience was good.

      Peakd is one of front-ends, it’s OK, has tools for posting on blockchain, and there are other frontends with additional tokens connected to the main token over Hive Engine market…
