Sociall is a new generation of networking. It is a secure and private decentralised social network for all. Sociall encrypts all data and multimedia uploads and stores it securely all over the world, making it completely decentralised. Sociall plans to move the entire platform to self-governing, giving the power back to the people.
Hi Tony. Thanks for your review.
Sociall has many unique points of difference. Just to name a few...
- Self-governing
- Peer-to-peer marketplace
- Integrated blogging
- Crowdfunding capabilities
- Decentralised (moving to IPFS soon)
- Complete open-source (not just a few repos)
I highly recommend reading into the project further, along with the technical implementations that are stated in the whitepaper.
Thanks!

Well I'm curious now, can you explain the biggest difference with other social networks 🤔

@matthieudeluze Hello Matthieu. Sure thing!
Sociall has many unique points of difference, to name a few - self-governing, peer-to-peer marketplace, native cryptocurrency token, open-source, decentralisation, and much more.
Our self-governing model will allow anyone on Sociall to become a moderator to help keep the platform safe and clean. Moderators will be able to vote to have posts and other content removed from the platform that does not belong there.
Our peer-to-peer marketplace will utilise our native cryptocurrency, called SCL, for all purchases. It will be a breeze to use, as Sociall will provide all user accounts with a wallet on signup. No technical knowledge will be required what-so-ever.
Last but not lease - decentralisation. We are moving all data and multimedia uploads to a new protocol called IPFS. It means that the controlling entity, being Sociall in this case, will not have control over the data like what other mainstream social networks do (Facebook and Twitter for example).
If you have any more questions or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

@mulhollandjade Many thanks for your quick and detailed answer!
I'll be happy to test it then 🤗

How do you avoid early adopters setting the political/cultural/etc tone and not just voting to remove anything that they don't like creating an echo chamber?
@robert_horvick Great question, Robert. On the first launch, we'll be managing the governance in-house. After a few months has passed and the platform has thousands of users, we'll open up the self-governing features.
All users who would like moderator-like-privileges will need to pass a simple test before they are granted the role. It simply gives them 10 or so example posts and asks them if they should be deleted or if it should be whitelisted. If they pass, they immediately get their role upgraded.
To make sure that these users are voting the right way, Sociall will throw in "dummy" questions. These are intended to make the user think about their response. If they incorrectly answer a dummy question, they are given a strike. After the second strike, the user is suspended from voting for 24 hours. If they receive two strikes in two consecutive days, we'll be suspending them for a longer period of them. We then need to find creative ways of removing these privileges from the users if they continuously remove the wrong content.
Please note that content removal is not done by a singular moderator. It will consist of a 10 stage voting process. If 9/10 moderators deem the post to be inappropriate, then it will be removed.

Very nice idea. I have some questions: 1. How are you going to make money, therefore how are you going to sustain the platform? 2. What's the benefit of crypto for the end user? Thanks!
Edit: I think the answer to first question is "marketplace"? Vero-like?
@utestme Hi Onutz.
Sociall will take very small fees from the peer-to-peer marketplace for the transactions. The main revenue maker of Sociall will be the ad platform though.
The benefit of using a cryptocurrency for the end user is less fees for currency conversations, such as going from AUD->USD. Take PayPal for example, they make huge money from their conversation fees. At Sociall, we utilise a singular native currency for the entire platform, therefore making it "borderless". It does not matter where you live or what main currency you use - anyone you interact with on Sociall will be using SCL.
We will be making the experience extremely easy and painless for the end user. No technical knowledge or previous use of cryptocurrencies will be required. To the end user, they don't even need to know that cryptocurrencies are used in the background. To them, SCL is just the native currency of SCL, and Sociall will handle all technical aspects in the background for them. Using a cryptocurrency for this is by far the most secure approach (over a basic credits system for example).
Just registered for the closed beta (waiting for the email!!).
And in features it has: Facebook Migration Tool. I mean, seriously? That's a great way to actually populate profile... though, personally, I would like to create and develop my profile on Sociall from the scratch.
All the best guys!
@mulhollandjade For the record: I'm still waiting for the invite.

How is your "decentralised storage solution that is built and maintained by Sociall" different than Facebook's distributed servers if it is not open source?
@tonybrix That's why we're going open-source in the coming weeks, so users can check it out for themselves. Note that we're moving to a distributed solution utilising IPFS in the coming months too.

Sociall is a much needed alternitive for Facebook, since trust in this big central party is lost. Everybody caan benefit from the platform,without private data beeing sold to third parties and ds eing targeted all the time.
Now and in he future your private data is becomming more important to protect. That is why I recommand Sociall to all.
More is to come since the team behind Sociall is working on lots of extra ervices, like a marketplace and payments with cryptos.
Lets take controll of our own data and stop the big players who earn a shit load of money with it, and who are more and more capable of manipulate us with it, for example the election scandal UK/USA.
Pros:
Secure privatedata sharing, no central party who sells your data, marketplace with cryptopaiments in development, migratetool data FB
Cons:
Still in closed beta, but soon in open beta for all.
Hi! Thank you very much for your detailed review on Sociall and recommending it. The open beta is not too far off now!

Jade Mulholland (CEO of Sociall.io) communicate constantly with its stakeholders. The team is transparent in their management (as well achievements are shared, problems or defects too). SCL team have achieved every milestone in their roadmap, so Social.io future is bright from closed beta and beyond.
Personally, I am very excited about benefits this platform will bring to its users. It is different, resolving cyber ethics problems and improving user experience through blockchain with its SCL currency.
As time is passed, their progress is notable. ¡Great team behind Sociall.io project!
Pros:
Future self governance features, decentralized data (just you own your data), future ERC20 wallet integration, marketplace integration
.
- Software that is "built and maintained by Sociall":
Same as facebook just different name.
- "A fully integrated a semi-automatic self-serve ad platform":
Users are still the product
- "instant access debit card":
Anyone remeber the "Facebook Card"? Google it.
- "The project may eventually open some repositories":
Facebook also has some open source repos
I don't see any difference between Sociall's business model and Facebook's
Pros:Maybe competition will push Facebook to be better.
Cons:Same as Facebook with a different name
