RE: Some small progress on the subreddit
I came to discover Steemit via Google search autosuggestion tool while searching for a better alternatives to Minds. From there, a whole new world of blockchain and cryptocurrency understanding opened up to me and changed the way I look at the internet for ever.
Minds looked promising, but, then it went nowhere. It feels to me that they are struggling to monetise their platform. When facing something like Steemit, they can't compete.
I agree! But Minds got a cool and elegant website design which is fresh looking to our eyes though. Several big name intellectuals are using their platform as a blogging service.
My four (4) major concerns about Minds, if they can get a way around it I might consider utilizing their platform for content marketing purposes.
Poorly optimize permalink for blog post which contains generic alphanumeric characters.
Lack of proper categorization in the infinite scroll for blog posts.
Cluttered commenting system which is very user unfriendly to navigate.
Poor font choice and text size particularly in the comment section.
The best thing about Minds is that, it is truly a censorship-resistant platform. The freedom of expression there is miles ahead of Steemit, truth be told.
I would agree with you on all of your points.
Can you please point me to the big names you are referring to on Minds?
I am rather disappointed with the quality of what I see in my feed.
"Minds is truly censorship-resistant", yes, the owners of the site seem to allow people free reign on what they post, however, the platform is still centralised. While internal censorship is not in play, external censorship could shut it down. Where as Steemit is decentralised and thus more resistant to external censorship.
