At @DappRadar we're always excited to analyze the dapps numbers. This time we went through some of the most popular Social dapps, with @PeakD and @Hiveio blog included. When there are arguments about who's better, we'd always try to look at the numbers to have a better overview and to better understand the reality.
Please find below some of the key takeaways we have discovered in our Social Media 2020 - Flash Report.
Key Takeaways:

PeakD
Peakd launched on the Hive blockchain on March 20th, 2020 as a version of the Steem dapp SteemPeak. Since launching, Peakd daily active users on Hive have grown to a daily average of around 1.3K.
Steemit
Steemit runs on the Steem blockchain and redefined social media by building a living, breathing social economy – a community where users are rewarded for sharing their voices. Steemit has seen a drop in daily active users by 40% in May and a decrease in value of 57%. However, it currently still stands as the number 1 social dapp on DappRadar.
