Reddit-inspired social aggregation platform Discussions.app announced its expansion to the Telos network on Sept. 3.<\/p>\n
The first project to come out of the new collaboration will be a decentralized identity system, allowing users to record their accounts and contacts from Twitter and other social networks to the blockchain in the event of a block or ban.<\/p>\n
In the social-media age, users spend years growing networks and followers on various platforms, although this work can be destroyed by the sometimes arbitrary-seeming decisions of the networks.<\/p>\n
Discussions.app addresses this by allowing users to migrate across platforms without losing their valuable identities and connections. Telos chief architect Douglas Horn explained the problem:<\/p>\n
It seems that every few days I see another unique voice de-platformed and the connections they invested years building pulled out from under them like a cheap rug especially in the crypto community. Discussions.app empowers individuals to secure their own social networks immune to the whims of Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.<\/p>\n
As Cointelegraph reported, YouTube has arbitrarily banned (and then reinstated) a number of crypto-related channels over the past few months. In May, the platform even pulled the plug on our special livestream of the halving event.<\/p>\n
In addition to digital identity management, Telos will provide Discussions.app with options for advanced governance and Ethereum Virtual Machines which can run Ethereum-compatible smart contracts with zero transaction fees.<\/p>\n
