&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;NFTs and the Metaverse are the hottest topics in the cryptocurrency ecosystem right now, but the next big thing might just be decentralized <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;span style=\"font-weight: 400\"&gt; Like decentralized finance, decentralized social media platforms dont have a centralized governing body and may, someday, provide viable alternatives to established platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> is currently evolving just beyond the embryonic stage of development.&lt;\/span&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yung Beef, or YB  who serves as content lead and community manager at Subsocial  says that centralized social media platforms are unfair to community members and content creators. It seems pretty obvious that centralized social networks are susceptible to lots of shady stuff, with the mystery algorithms controlling what people see, people getting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shadowbanned<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or banned outright for whatever reason, etc. And it just gets worse when you factor in that a lot of people earn their livelihood on these platforms and their food bill is totally at the whim of the central authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Subsocial, the centralized social media industry is plagued by global censorship, a lack of customization, unfair monetization, algorithm dictatorship and a monopoly on network effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stani Kulechov, the CEO of Aave and a decentralized social media developer, believes that content creators should have a permissionless, censorship-resistant distribution channel with their audience. He tells Magazine that At least the people that are posting the content, creating the content, consuming it, sharing it  they would definitely benefit from decentralized social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kulechov made headlines in and outside of the cryptocurrency community last summer when he hinted that crypto giant Aave was considering building Twitter on Ethereum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Since <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jack?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jack<\/a> is going to build Aave on Bitcoin, Aave should build Twitter on Ethereum<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 stani.v3 (,) (@StaniKulechov) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StaniKulechov\/status\/1416385933549654016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Michael Marra, founder and CEO of Entre  a social media <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lication that runs on the DeSo blockchain  believes that decentralized social media is really about giving the power back to the people. According to him, one of the problems with centralized platforms is censorship, while another is monetization, but more on both of those later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11583 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/magazine-Decentralized-social-media-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_it_all_work\"><\/span>How does it all work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Centralized and decentralized social media platforms both utilize some type of social graph  a model of a social network that maps everyone on a platform and how theyre related  and allow users to communicate with each other on a front-end platform. Traditional social media platforms are totally self-contained, and the host company controls the data servers. Twitter owns and controls all its content  all <em>your<\/em> content. The same is true with Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc. Decentralized social media platforms live on public blockchains, and for the most part, anyone, anywhere, can operate a node, access the back end, create an app and curate a feed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to its website, DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to scale decentralized social applications to one billion users. The blockchain is open-source, with the code and all the data stored directly on-chain. There are over 200 apps deployed on Deso, and users who create a profile in any app can easily take that profile and their community of followers along with them to any app on the blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This new category of decentralized infinite-state applications that we are exploring with DeSo is a huge and untapped market for the crypto space to disrupt.<\/p>\n<p>With DeSo, we can now enable so much more to live completely on-chain and become truly decentralized like never before.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 DeSo (@desoprotocol) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/desoprotocol\/status\/1506990959480954882?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Entre, short for entrepreneur, is a social Web3 application that runs on DeSo. On Entre, the self-employed, the traditionally employed and any other professional can post Twitter-like content and carry out business transactions. They can conduct meetings, host virtual events and hire staff members, with the app functioning like a decentralized, digitally monetizable alternative to LinkedIn, Zoom and Google Calendar  all jammed together into a single product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11585 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot-06.04.22-01-1024x1000.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Entre runs on a social blockchain, the Aave-backed Lens Protocol is deployed on Polygon. Kulechov says that Lens is actually a decentralized social graph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Kulechov, when a user of an app on the protocol creates a profile, that profile is tokenized as an NFT. Whenever someone follows a profile, they create a relationship on-chain that cant be arbitrarily broken by the platform or by anyone else, as those relationships are also tokenized as NFTs that can be viewed in a digital wallet like MetaMask or on the web on OpenSea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_carousel jeg_postblock_carousel_3 jeg_postblock jeg_col_8

style=\"font-weight: 400\">Subsocial doesnt consider itself a decentralized social network, rather a platform for building social networks. It allows users to create profiles and customize personal Spaces and claims to have serverless public timelines, roles and permissions, user governance, moderation, Spaces for DAOs, and a treasury. The platform runs on the Polkadot and Kusama blockchains, and it recently built its first app, a decentralized RedditMedium hybrid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to YB, Subsocial plans to remove the profiles in the future. To save space, all content uploaded onto Subsocial (pics, videos and text) is hosted on the InterPlanetary File System, with an IPFS content identifier uploaded to the blockchain. Each IPFS node is hosted by one or more people, and those node operators are in control of what they host on their servers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11586 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot-06.04.22-02-1024x972.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"972\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While developers at Lens Protocol, Entre and Subsocial build out the next generation of decentralized, Web3 social platforms and apps, other platforms such as Theta and Audius are integrating social media tools into decentralized video and audio streaming services. Theta is a peer-to-peer network operating on its own blockchain, with users sharing bandwidth to relay video to one another. On its website, YouTube co-founder Steve Chen is quoted as saying the project can bring improved video delivery at lower costs. Like on YouTube, brands and creators can stream content as followers comment in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Audius, meanwhile, is a decentralized audio streaming platform that runs on Solana and hopes to afford everyone the freedom to distribute, monetize and stream any audio content. Artists can easily upload musical clips to the platform, while fans can listen to original compositions and mixes, curate libraries, and repost, follow, like and share content. It offers the same amount of fun but without middlemen throwing trivial ads your way and then taking a hefty cut from content creators.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_about_the_bad_guys\"><\/span>What about the bad guys?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If creators are expected to monitor their own content on a completely decentralized platform like Subsocial, how can the distribution of illegal content and disinformation be controlled? Social media moderation has been a controversial topic for years, and platforms like Facebook and Twitter havent always done a good job both filtering out dangerous content and maintaining a commitment to open dialogue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">YB explains to Magazine that Subsocial is censorship-resistant, while Kulechov says that Lens Protocol is built completely to be agnostic in the sense that its a technical solution, basically to build social media applications. Entres Marra says:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If it is open, that means anything kind of goes. You can control it to some degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marra believes that blockchains can be built to facilitate the communitys ability to report things. Community members, especially those with higher authority  like those with lots of followers or a good reputation  can signal that a bad actor is posting dubious content. The offenders content should then go way down in the feed. Marra argues that blockchain verification will also prevent a lot of this stuff, saying You will instantly know that this person is not legit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11587\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot-06.04.22-03-1024x1015.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1015\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Kulechov, moderation is all about creating choices for everyone. Lens Protocol has a common social graph where all user information is actively linked, and unlike traditional social media, that social graph is decentralized. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kulechov believes that decentralizing the social graph so that everyone has access to it provides more opportunities to moderate more humanely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This accessible interconnectivity affords developers opportunities to create algorithms focused on content moderation. It essentially puts the front ends of the protocol, the applications, into a position where they compete to offer accessibility to accurate, appropriate information. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kulechov says:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p>Maybe the right type of content moderation might be community-led, where the communitys site people announce themselves and moderate or select the algorithms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Subsocial has three levels of moderation. To start, every post is made in a Space. Think of Spaces like a subreddit, a Facebook group, a Twitter profile or a blog,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">YB says<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Each S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">pace has at least one owner who can moderate its content. Also, each IPFS node is hosted by at least one community member. Those operators can control what they host on their servers. Lastly, anyone can build a front-end social application on the platform. A front end connected to one of the Subsocial blockchains can read all the content on the chain. The operator can control what is distributed on the front end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Learn the difference between moderation and censorship<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zb923stv1o\">https:\/\/t.co\/zb923stv1o<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Subsocial (@SubsocialChain) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SubsocialChain\/status\/1506059875775913993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 22, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, if a front-end operator and a group of bad actors were determined to disseminate misinformation or illegal content, YB says it could be shut down with an on-chain vote. [That] would be a big deal and likely a big hassle, but it also would be pointless, as those people could just make another Space right away and continue on. YB argues that people use the internet to coordinate violence and share illegal content all the time  it\u2019s just hidden, which it still would be, as large social networks built on Subsocial wouldnt show that stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One thing to note, however, is that centralized social media platforms with the power to shut down a creator or community with the click of a button have struggled for years to contain the distribution of illegal content and misinformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(function() {window.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {listeners: [],forms: {on: function(evt, cb) {window.mc4wp.listeners.push({event   : evt,callback: cb});}}}})();<!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.8.7 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\">\n<div class=\"jeg_mc4wp_heading\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_of_blockchain_every_Tuesday\"><\/span>The best of blockchain, every Tuesday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>  Subscribe for thoughtful explorations and leisurely reads from Magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy<\/div>\n<p><label>Leave this field empty if you&#8217;re human: <\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin --><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As such, even though relying on the community to moderate itself is egalitarian and sounds good in theory, it may not prove effective in practice. Self-moderation on censorship-resistant platforms would likely require fully engaged community members. That may not always be the case in the Web3 environment, as active members of communities need to be present in significant enough numbers to monitor bad actors on any given decentralized network. For example, a recent <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">analysis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessofbusiness.com\/articles\/ranking-daos-we-computed-their-net-community-score-to-see-how-they-stack-up\/\"> ranking<\/a> community engagement in DAOs showed mixed results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How might a censorship-resistant platform respond when an extraordinarily large community goes off the rails? Considering the massive amount of disinformation that could be generated by an organized, well-funded army of bots, could a universally adopted, decentralized network moderate a community of thousands of such propagandists?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Show_me_the_money_all_the_money\"><\/span>Show me the money  all the money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Equitable monetization for community members and content creators is one of the key features of the decentralized social media ecosystem. Juxtaposed against unbalanced monetization schemes in traditional social media, decentralized social earning could be a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> changer for content creators and magnetize universal adoption efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">YB tells Magazine, Personally, I think the monetization stuff will be much more attractive to content creators than any censorship resistance. YouTube, for example, takes 45% of ad revenue, which is pretty insane. He adds further, Im really interested to see what happens with the tips. I hope we see the emergence of a micro-tipping economy, since it will be so easy. Scrolling through the timeline and see a joke that brightens your morning? Why not tip them $0.50 in a second or two?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_carousel jeg_postblock_carousel_3 jeg_postblock jeg_col_8

to monetization. We wanted to touch monetization as little as possible and give a lot of space for our developers to come and solve that, Kulechov says. Lens is currently building a very basic monetization function around content collection and amplification. Whenever creators post music, text, audio or video, followers can then collect that content as NFTs. There are different collection modules, and followers can mint the NFTs themselves. If those followers then amplify that content, the creator collects mirror fees, which is like monetizing a retweet on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the DeSo blockchain, the DESO token can be used to purchase creator coins. BitClout, Diamond and CloutFeed are Twitter-like applications that allow followers who support a particular creator to invest in their coin, exponentially increasing its value. Although not recommended, the coins can be converted back to DESO and actively traded or cashed out for fiat. Entre, according to Marra, isnt into creator coins and is more focused on allowing creators to earn DESO through tipping when they livestream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11588\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot-06.04.22-04-1024x861.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"861\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Entre users can also sell tickets to in-person or virtual events and charge for private one-on-one services like consulting and coaching. The app offers a Slack- and Discord-like community feature where membership fees can be charged and users can offer services like graphic design. Currently, DESO is the only cryptocurrency accepted on the app, but Marra intends to offer multiple tokens in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Theta has been in the monetization game for some time and offers crypto rewards for creators, fans and hosts. The platform has two tokens: THETA and TFUEL. Owners of THETA, its native token, can participate in governance and earn more THETA by staking or running a node. TFUEL is essentially a utility token for the platform and can be earned by community members for watching streams on Theta.tv or hosting Guardian and Edge Nodes. They can spend TFUEL on real-world merchandise in the TFUEL Shop or use it to buy subscriptions to paid content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just got Presessence vol 1 up on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AudiusProject?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AudiusProject<\/a> !

It could reshape the social media industry and redefine an era of digital free speech in the Web3 era. But in order to achieve that, it may still need to find an elusive solution to content moderation, and it will need to achieve universal adoption.
