I just LOVE the user-friendly approach, in which the user is back in control.

As a user, you have two options: (a) the convenient and slightly less secure way of registering and logging in, and (b) the less convenient, but more secure way of doing this.

Not sure why some haters are moaning. Keep up the good work at DeSo!

These videos are well done, easy to watch w/clear explanations presented in a visually entertaining way - This one explains the differences of Centralized & Decentralized very well 👍

Are you planning to put your platform on something other than Coinbase? I referred a massive amount of people to purchase DESO but with it being tied so closely to Coinbase, I’ve lost an incredible amount of credibility which I believe also being tied so close to Coinbase is a direct reflection of the value dropping.

Lots of inaccuracies in this video.

Most notably, stating that every piece of data that you post to DeSo is stored on chain. That’s not true for images or videos, which account for a large portion of the content posted there.

DeSo is not the first L1 custom-built for social media; that'd be Steem.

You don’t even really own your DeSo username, as the core team can just take it at any time. They’ve done this before without warning.

DeSo is also the literal poster child for “DINO”: Decentralized In Name Only. The core team has sole control over every aspect of the chain.

ICP costs 5 bucks a GIG. ICP solves all these problems.

There's still a long way to go, but I'm pretty sure if Desofy can replace Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram.

Hi Jacob, great video. Can you please get in touch with us? We tried to reach out to DeSo last week through email, Twitter, and LinkedIn, but didn't get a reply. Thanks a lot.
