RE: Hive As A Decentralized Backup To Centralized Social Media

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I think that's a great idea. The Hive backups could be done using a browser extension. The extension would require the user to buy a small amount of Hive Power or just Resource Credits needed for interacting with the chain.

The idea would not be using mainstream social media platforms as Hive front ends but Hive as an immutable backup database.

Very interesting. So like a Chrome browser extension that anyone could load and start using.

I am not sure of how the technical makeup would look like but if we can do it for comments, I thought it an opportunity for posts, especially with many people complaining their stuff is being zapped on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. At least we can address the issue when it comes to text.

Yes, or like Hive Keychain.

It would look at what the Facebook app was doing and if it was making a post or a comment, it would post that same content to Hive as well.

By the way, those backups wouldn't even need to be posts or comments on Hive. Hive can store text in the JSON format.

Thanks for the information. Another great point about the custom JSON format.

That takes things to another level altogether.
