Why does a Twitter alternative need blockchain?

No spam and micro transactions. Post costs 10 pens. Like 2 pens. etc... You can yearn money if someone shares your content, likes, etc. Its all on blockchain. You own your twetch data and can move on any time

Blockchain is database. Website or product who use it can control and filter out what data to show. It can be on chain, but social network dont have to show it.

We have ~ 5M identities in the existing federated social web, and it is interoperable, ethical, and standards driven. Get onboard or get left behind.

Encrypted, you control who access this data

Until the particular crypto used by the blockchain becomes obsolete and is easily cracked. Then everyone can see whatever they want forever because you’ve widely distributed the encrypted text all across the world.
