Can we discuss alternative to these big platforms? This is the only long term solution to the problem. Decentralization is need of the hour. Why isn't etherium based solutions gaining traction even after repeated backlash by these big platforms on multiple fronts.

- ghthor 8y agoThere is a lot of disinformation about ethereum due to the economic incentive that I think is discouraging well established engineers from looking to ethereum as a good piece of infrastructure to use moving forward. It's also just missing link in understanding between a consensus service like zookeeper and a cryptographic consensus service like ethereum, meaning, it's not easy to see the huge gains over what some would say are mundane differences. That's also Not to say that ethereum doesn't have problems, but not being open and not being a quality engineered product and not part of the issues.

Because the problems that need to be solved aren't technical ones and won't be solved with technology. They are meatspace-based cultural, economic and social problems.
