The Future of Social Media

Social media is the essential and necessary element for each and every human being. But what does the future social media platforms look like, now this makes me curious. Lets discuss about the future of Social Media 🚀

What is Decentralised Social Media?

Decentralized social media, also known as blockchain-based social media, refers to social media platforms powered by distributed ledger technologies (DLT) like blockchain or DAG.

As such, activities on these platforms are irrevocably recorded on a decentralized protocol where no central authority can control or oversee, unlike centralized networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Conventional social platforms not only control users’ posts but also what they see, since these networks tend to prioritise revenue generation. Therefore, they present users with attention-grabbing advertising content, making them more entertained than well-informed.

On the other hand, users on decentralized social media networks have the freedom to interact however they wish without censorship as the developers usually only provide guiding rules, leaving the rest to a distributed group of users.

Decentralized social media platforms prevent the unauthorised sale of user data which is one of the contentious issues with centralised social networks. Moreover, blockchain technology increases user privacy and data security using cryptography methods.
