because so many are unhappy with the mainstream social medai, it is only a matter of time before a new form of social media will emerge.

what we need is a form of communications that does not have a central hub that can delete us and censor us.. maybe something along the lines of tor, but different, something that is not controlled by a single company..

we all have sms text messaging and we all have internet connectivity on our phones.. what if somebody were to create a decentralized network(similar to tor) that operated from phone to phone with multiple phones that are setup as servers, similar to tor?

and hey, maybe dont set this up with profit as your motivation.. like tor..

no central website like twitter or facebook that has the power to ban or censor you.

to get onto the network, you only need an invite from another current user perhaps.

fuck twitter. fk facebook. fuck google.

I hope you're right. I have seen that anytime a new way of delivering information is invented, profiteers and government (they usually work together in symbiosis) find a way to control it to their benefit.

A project like this should be see as something that would be a gift to all of humanity, as something that would solve the problem of unwanted censorship.

in the future, censoring will only be done by individuals that get to decide what they want to read or do not want to read and they will be able to decide who they want to communicate with, and only they will have the ability to block a person if that person is found to be undesirable..

it would not be that terribly difficult to completely reproduce what google and facefuck and twatter do, rendering all three of them obsolete and soon bankrupt.

an email system could be setup in a decentralized system like i have described.

hint: now that the cat is out of the bag, there will be many that will try to make this, but one system or maybe a few systems will become the dominant decentralized networks... similar to how we have bitcoin and litecoin and shitcoin, etc... different networks for different folks.

all three of the major social media networks could be reproduced into a decentralized app.. the app should not be hosted on any fixed website, but instead it should be hosted on mirrored sites that sit on multiple phones..

this would be quite a fantastic project...

i hate twitter and facefuck and google.

somehow a peer to peer style social network where your info and content is stored locally?
