Facebook and Twitter soon obsolete? Unlikely.Blockchain is not replacing the web. What's more it isn't the first distributed option for social media which can be found on onion and has been there for longer with very little adoption. What do you think? cointelegraph.com/news/faceb…

Facebook and Twitter will soon be obsolete thanks to blockchain technology

On Web2 — Twitter and Facebook — users do not own their own content or followers. That isn’t the case on Web3, where our corporate overseers will become powerless.

Yeah, I'm not sure how what's being described here is different from systems like Mastodon. The underlying tech might be different, but grassroots social networks have been here for a while. They're refreshing alternatives to FB/Twitter/etc—sometimes—but haven't replaced them.

Exactly and whether it's here or on onion or I do P2 or whatever there's little incentive for people to leave and that includes especially includes Facebook and Twitter for their profits are made here and wouldn't be on a locked down environment.

100% agree, it’s difficult to see where blockchain will ultimately go but I don’t think there’s much chance of it reaching a massive audience. Even Onion is a stretch for most people.

Exactly. I do surf around onion just to see what's up and it is a lot faster than it used to D but there are a lot of barriers to entry there too with ridiculous amounts of captcha and DDOS attacks are continuous on most sites. Legalities of onion misunderstood by most people.

Thanks Barney these are great responses. The one use I see really is not for creating an actual network but for creating a means by which to share data in a distributed way for largely financial institutions at this point in history at least and it takes adoption.
