Zeronet is the torrent based, decentralized, anonymous through TOR, internet service.
With the release of 0.4.0 they added a twitter clone, here are my first impressions.
ZeroMe offers the usual features
- Posting
- Comments
- Upvotes
- Follow
- Profile edits
- Avatar
The coolest feature is the 'subscribe to' which gives you a direct overview the second you launch ZeroNET
Profile Overview
Activity Feed and design
there's an "all" feed too
Pros:
- ZeroNet/Me is super easy to setup.
- Anonymous through TOR
- Decentralized
- simple design
- as fast as Steem
Cons:
- Mobile version should be very hard to get going
- ZeroMe is dependend on Proxy Hubs, if they're down you can't reach it
- "Everyone" Feed - Prepare to see illegal stuff
Conclusion: Unlike steemit.com (the website, not Steem the blockchain!), ZeroMe cannot be censored by one single entity. Really like the whole concept of ZeroNet, however, the social media is a niche product in a niche product. I don't see this exploding like steem anytime soon.
