Hey Alex...

Okay I didn't get a response from you on any of my questions there, so I went over there again and had a look for myself to see if anyone over there had actually gotten a clue and figured it out...

They did! ?

Truth social does now have a web interface where one can create an account now.

This is a new development in the last couple of months - there was no web access prior. That meant that both web based and #Android based users were effectively disenfranchised.

So, since it's #SoapBox-FE with a Mastodon backend, it also works just fine with

https://Fedilab.App

Prior to enabling the web interface for account creation, one would need to use an #iPhone to create an account, and then they could presumably use #Fedilab to access the site after that, with all the bells and whistles that affords the user, such as #scheduling of posts and favs, instant #translation, true #bookmarking, and tuning whether certain types of content should only be available over WiFi (to reduce data usage).

So.... ??? The weak link has been repaired :)

Kudos, to whomever it was that guy then to pull their heads out after all these months!

Yeah...

Perhaps you can explain a bit Alex?

Last I checked, it was a #SoapBox frontend (pretty fricken' kewl), but no web access (WTF is sup wit dat, bitches?), And so I was unable to create an account.

And although there was an #Apple ? app, no such #Android beast.

Is that correct? And what kind of goofy logic is that where you can only access the site if you have an #iPhone?

I suppose i would have tried to use #Fedilab, i would suppose, but you need to already have an account to do that.

I know I'm not "missing out" on anything, but What am I missing here?

It's a fairly complicated mechanism on the surface, yet somewhat simplistic at it's core, although not without some amount of intricacy.

Basically, you #publish, and you earn. The net amount increases based on several factors, such as (and I'm over simplifying here, so forgive me if I'm less than accurate or even incorrect on some aspects):

The amount of credit in assets you have determines how much and whether you can post, like, tip, donate, or lend.

The amount of earnings are based on the amount of likes, tips, and assets you are holding or lended.

When you tip (or is it like), you receive some of the poster's earnings that you and others have caused, and the percentage of that you have caused the poster to earn is something that you can take a piece of.

Something like that. Basically, the more popular, or appreciated, your posts/articles are, the more you earn and that wealth is spread around to others that interacted with your post by virtue of them liking, tipping, and their replies to your writings.

Some active users command intimate knowledge of how it works and best practices, but I'm a nutshell, those who merely post quality, original content are generally rewarded for their contributions in publishing that content.

I'm not sure if the amount of assets you hold determines your reward, but not having assets does restrict your ability to post, etc., Which is part of the reason people will loan you assets when you start off.

If that's more as clear as mud then i dunt know what is, but you don't really have to understand much at all to simply publish and earn.

I think the two things I like most about the ecosystem, is that:

1. Usernames themselves are completely unique across the entire blockchain... Period. So you already know how to find me their the entire ecosystem, lolz.

2. Anyone can self-host the #FOSS based publishing platforms, there are a few (more than one available), and there are some proprietary platforms too that exist. The UI and feature set varies amongst the various platforms.

3. Content is ubiquitous and consistent across the entire ecosystem, so no matter which website or client app you use to access the network, your experience CAN be the same or very similar.

4. The user centric moderation/blocking tools are unique (I think) to each site you enter from, so you can have particular content settings in one site and different settings in another (I think).

I don't do gaming, so I don't know much about other aspects of content related to that #blockchain, but there's other stuffs as well, and from my experience, the rewards system pretty much discourages spam accounts all on it's own - very nice.

So, if I like some of the tools available one one platform, and other tools on another, I can enter one site to affect things in a particular post and then visit another site to affect other options on that post. Kinda odd, but still pretty kewl.

What I don't particularly enjoy:

1. Onboarding can be a total bitch.

2. Documentation on just how to plan for your permanent entry into the ecosystem (i.e., usernames are completely unique - so get it right the first time) is somewhat lacking. A couple of sites have a very unintuitive #UI for achieving this.

3. The initial blockchain account verification process varies in cost and complexity from site to site, but you only have to do this one time and then you're good everywhere - the upside of this? Extremely effective spammer/scammer attenuation.

The writing experience (editors) use very nice on most platforms too. #Fediverse platforms in general could learn a lot from that.

What's missing, IMNSHO:

1.) Plugins for pushing published content to other networks and #CMS platforms, like #ActivityPub, #Diaspora, #WordPress, and even bridges that can post "teasers", with links posted to the deprecated, monolithic legacy vertical silo systems, that serve to bring readers and users into the DeSoc space, away from places like Faceplant, Twatter, InstaSPAM, etc.

In fact, I believe there should be greater concerted efforts across the #DeSoc space to provide such tools that cross-publish material (preferably teasers) onto the deprecated legacy silos that link back to the Fediverse and other networks in the DeSoc space.

I'm not of the mind that #microblogging platforms are really all that enticing to users remaining on those legacy silos, especially considering that there's a whole shitload of low value "shitposting" going on, by virtue of having hard, paltry character count limits (yes, Twatter is an example too), which is often antithetical to housing relevant, original, meaningful, and interesting unique content.

This is one reason I really like #Mitra - it's primarily a publishing vehicle for actual content in the Fediverse.

???

I'm very interested in hearing about what others think about this, and would enjoy reading your thoughts, suggestions.

Have you researched any potential for modeling based on how it's happening with HIVE?

What are your thoughts on how they're implementing monitization? Especially in light of the cutover to PoS in Ethereum.
