Is Steemit Free/Libre?
by Andri Effendi 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hi Freedom lovers, I was wondering if someone could confirm whether the crypto/blockchain based social network “steemit.com <http://steemit.com/>” is Free Software? Is this a recommended platform for Free Software folks? And d.tube is supposedly a decentralised and blockchain based alternative/replacement for youtube. dtube is also connected to steemit. Is Dtube Free/Libre also? And does this community recommend it? What are your thoughts of this platform?
