skyfeed VS sydent

I would be very surprised if such app doesn't come out of the recently announced developer program. Someone could partner with redsolver (https://github.com/redsolver/skyfeed) to give use to all the know-how he gained in the process and come up with decentralized twitter that will be actively developed.

Skyfeed - Alternative to Twitter by RedSolver

https://skyfeed.hns.siasky.net/ is a decentralized social network by Skynet, the same people that created Siacoin that also offer decentralized cloud storage!

Still pretty simple but yes there is one called Skyfeed

The easiest way to support the network is to begin using Skynet. You could use something like Filebase, Skyspace's, or MARStorage to begin transferring the data you currently store on something like Google Drive or Dropbox and store it on the Sia network. Additionally you could take a look at the current applications and begin using things like Skyfeed which all require Siacoin to be used as they all run off the Sia network via Skynet. You could also begin looking in to becoming a host for the Sia network if that is your kind of thing which would allow you to earn Siacoin for renting out your unused hard drive space. But ultimately the best way to help grow the network is to begin using it any way you can and to encourage everyone you know to do so as well. It would be worth while explaining to people you know why Skynet is important to them and how it will benefit all our lives. Once people know what the project is about there will be nothing stopping it from going mainstream.

If you go to Siasky and upload a file, or Skyfeed and make a post you have just used Siacoin to do so. Additionally you could download the Sia-UI and rent personal storage using Siacoin yourself. However, since Skynet's inception it is no longer necessary for a person to purchase Siacoin to rent storage. You could use something like Filebase, MARStorage, or Skyspace to store your files on the Sia network without needing to worry about purchasing Siacoin. So since the end user no longer needs Siacoin to use the Sia network, it doesn't make sense for them to buy it unless they are wanting to invest in the coin. The people who are buying Siacoin with the intention of using it are mostly hosts and portal operators.

Everything I possibly can! But what this post is about is the Sia host I am running which provides storage space to the network. I also use the Sia network via Skynet to store my files, send files and even some social media (Skyfeed. Eventually I'll be using Sia and Skynet for everything I do once the appropriate skapps are made.

GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use.

For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in), try Matrix instead: https://matrix.org/

I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... slowly improving.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect.
