The analysis of the first item, Steemit, is incorrect. Rewards paid on Steemit are paid in STEEM, a native asset to the same blockchain that holds all the content, not an ERC-20, as STEEM has nothing to do with Ethereum.

I didn’t read any further, as such a glaring inaccuracy turned me off from the article.

Source: have hacked on Steem a fair bit

It's an easy enough mistake to make, since SmartMesh is also abbreviated SMT (conflicting with Steem's Smart Media Tokens) and it is an ERC-20 token.

Blockchain ≠ decentralization ≠ peer-to-peer ≠ cryptocurrency

This isn’t an article about decentralized social media, it’s a list of apps where publishers are paid in crypto currency.

I'm friends with D.Tube founder, Adrien, and we just interviewed him on The Cazzell Report ( https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCJsTKB06gr8smQQIkbIXc9Q - his episode won't be out till next week though ).

There is also P2P Reddit, http://notabug.io/ which like D.Tube, runs off of GUN. It already has 1K/daily active users!

Forgot Partiko (partiko.app). Easily the best way to interface with the steemit blockchain on mobile, hoping they add more blockchains in the future!

Interesting. Is it a dapp? If so, please do submit it to Dapp.com:)

How long are these sites being used?

Not very long I would say. Have you tried any of those?

no. social networking for decentralized internet is a ridiculous idea for me.
