Social network, should really be owned by USERS instead of founders/investors. It should be decentralized and it should be governed based on democratic Principles. I once thought that blockchain can do the job but it proved to be untrue.

I wholeheartedly agree. Check out the IndieWeb when you have cycles for it. I think it lines up quite well with what you’ve expressed. https://indieweb.org/principles https://indieweb.org/principles

  Thanks! I was really inspired by John Barlow's "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" so I wanted to build something that can reflect my understanding of his vision, an autonomous cyberspace. I've tried to build blockchain, DApp and App in the past two years, all failed because of technical challenges. I'm on the fourth try and we are now building a "Wechat + Twitter" website. It is now open sourced at: https://github.com/Rackar/dao-quasar https://github.com/Rackar/dao-quasar

    I was really inspired by John Barlow's "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" Somehow despite my own digital-revolutionary tendencies (don't read too far into this, heh) I'd never come across this bit of writing before. Thank you! I think you'll really appreciate the IndieWeb's adoption of microformats to enable federation, a brilliant example of it in use to display a timeline-esque rendering of contributors can be found on their directory: http://indieweb.xyz http://indieweb.xyz. Instead of posting directly to the directory, you enable your website with certain HTML tags and upon publishing a new page or blog entry, it federates out via webmention and anyone who subscribes to the directory gets your content. In my opinion this is the social-media web we should have gotten. Edit: Also, about your app...I love the UI. I can't read much of what's on the page, but I'll run your readme through a translator to learn more. Good luck!

      Thanks! I'll read everything about IndieWeb carefully tomorrow. Do yo write frontend codes? If so I invite you to join our project to build DAO. If you are interested, please drop me a line at nycould at gmail. The full design is available here: https://lanhuapp.com/url/96D7S-tiHfu https://lanhuapp.com/url/96D7S-tiHfu. Basically we we are separating users to smaller communities called "Groups" (similar to a Wechat group or Facebook group). Each group can have its own rules enforced by Ethereum smart contract. This way people can stay in a virtual space with whatever rules they designed themselves and mutually decided to bind of. Then the leaders of each "group" act as board members of the whole company. They can decide everything about where how this website should be built. Developers of this site, are merely hired by these group leaders and get paid by cryptocurrencies issued by these group leaders. These group leaders, on the other hand, are elected by members of his group and can be voted out too.

      btw, DeepL is a much better translator than google translate.
