I appreciate your optimism surrounding the minds token, but I don't think it holds much against steem. Sure it might have a better UI/UX than steemit, but can it topple utopian, busy, musing, dlive, etc?
See steemit is not even hardly trying yet to be a good user experience, but steem is so powerful that developers have built many different experiences and tools on top. Frankly, Minds coulda woulda shoulda built on steem.
The fact that they are launching on ethereum makes me question if anybody over there even knows what they are doing. They will be mapping to another blockchain within two years I bet, either a graphene chain, komodo or some other, more scaleable tech.
Thanks for sharing!
I had Minds before I had Steemit. The quality of content here is way better than that in Minds. Most users are just sharing pictures they copied from the internet. And there is even no caption! It does not encourage conversation unlike Steemit which is somewhat akin to Google plus in terms of engagement. 😁

Yeah that's true, and by no means was I competing the two. I use Minds and Steemit as my two go to social platforms.
Sure! I see for example how you are posting this on Steem! Well, I have heard of minds, and I know a lot of people use them both. I haven't made it over there yet, I am quite invested here with my time and effort, and have been rewarded quite a bit here, so perhaps I am very loyal to Steem.
I just don't see why, other than 'name recognition', any application would post on ethereum, which is quite an overloaded, slow, and getting slower network.
Yeah that I'm not sure. Maybe they'll change in the future. But yes I've been with Steem longer, but I really like and encourage both platforms, non competitively.
Competition in a FREE MARKET is a good thing. Sadly the markets have not been that free for some time and they seem to be going further and further from FREE such that competitors are seen as enemies to be censored, squashed, etc rather than competed with. Sad days.
I do agree that Ethereum seems like a poor choice due to performance and scalability. They are saying they will fix that, but as they get more and more sub-tokens that becomes more and more difficult.
EOS would have been a good choice too I think.
Very true! And you are right as I got attacked for posting this :/ I just wanted to spread the news because I think they work well together. A lot of times I use Minds to promote Steem (most of the time really).
Would be a great choice to go with EOS yeah!
Yeah I saw the attack. I won't attack people for sharing information ever.
Not a fan of censorship, echo chambers, circle jerks, and controlled narrative thru omission.
As such I also included your post in today's @newsagg headlines, and resteemed it myself.
Hey thank you so much I really appreciate that! If you ever get an open witness vote, feel free to think of me :P
Yeah it's unfortunate but I talked it out with Bernie and I think everything will be fine going forward.
I bet there are less trolls on minds! But do they censor any content? I really don't know what minds is all about, only heard about it...
It's pretty similar on both. Minds may even have more because of no flagging
