Haha someone sent me my beginner's guide to Ethereum post today (written in Feb 2017). Here's my section on social media, such a throwback :)

https://medium.com/the-coinbase-blog/a-beginners-guide-to-ethereum-46dd486ceecf

Building @bountycaster (bountycaster.xyz). Co-producer on an Ethereum documentary. Previously co-founder of Scalar Capital and product at Coinbase

Blockchain & Development Nerd 🤓 build, develop and operate Farcaster solutions @ dtech.vision also love tech, decentralization, fitness and oldschool rap 😎

I remember a lot of it was on mainnet but can't remember exact details

I personally didn't think it made sense to have everything onchain such as posts and likes since would just make it slow, expensive, and lot higher friction for users

Lens/Farcaster + tipping meta would be inserted if it was written today

Curious if that was all built on Mainnet and you had that in mind when you say „social media on Ethereum“

Damn! Going back to read all your posts now to figure what the next meta might be.

wowwwww haven't heard of Akasha since the last time i tried to use Urbit

people were so hungry for decentralized social in the content moderation debate heyday but it was just too early
