#threespeak

I have an announcement.

They Call Me Dan@theycallmedan (80)2645d

I wanted to wait until I got back to break the news: I have officially joined 3Speak!

Full Disclosure: Oracle-D & I have agreed to a 50/50 equity partnership in 3Speak.

The goal of 3Speak is to give a home for all of the deplatformed content creators out there.

https://3speak.online/ is built to be a high-performance platform, boasting the ability to host HD videos & live streams, forever. The reason we can achieve elite performance is because 3Speak is specially designed for content creators who have been demonetized, shadow banned, or outright banned/censored from centralized platforms. We don't host illegal content, as long as the content is legal, it will be supported by 3Speak. The goal is to have a respectable, fair & censorship resistant platform that puts creators first, not the big ad companies.

3Speak is a perfect market/timing fit, and I could not be more happy to join forces with the well-respected powerhouse that is Oracle-D!

Strap on your seat belts, we are just getting started!

Can you share how this platform is censor resistant? With D.Tube videos are addressable via IPFS, and as long as someone pins them they are very hard to censor. What does 3Speak do?
@atnazo(77)· 2640d
I have a question:

When the testing mode will be ended? Because i want to start using 3Speak for my vlogs, but i heard that is really hard to be a tester.
@drutter(73)· 2642d
Would I be a good fit at 3speak? I've been deplatformed from FB completely, never allowed back, and lost a lot of activism pages, groups, and events. I've been active on YT for 10+ years, shadowbanned for most of that time, and they appear to be making moves to delete me for good soon. I talk about cannabis, not necessarily legal though. I'm an activist who uses civil disobedience (breaking unjust laws peacefully and in public) to make positive change in the world. My wife @MediKatie has cancer that is kept in remission by cannabis oil. We have fought prohibition for many years, and now there is "legalization" here in Canada, but most of what we do remains illegal. That's why we have to go on, but we're being shut down and censored everywhere we go, because we speak the truth. I've almost stopped doing videos, because YT censors them and DTube doesn't really work. But the "legal only" thing might be a problem, I guess? I also talk about Liberty, free speech, privacy, philosophy, and conspiracies (things the mainstream platforms do not tolerate).

This is really awesome. I think you are the perfect guy to get this run!

Maybe we can support account creation for projects like yours, with something like "Burn Post". With the different, we use the Steem for creating new accounts for intstant sign up.
@rowmanu(54)· 2644d
Hello!, I invite you to follow me, I upload content made by me, I hope you help me by going through my blog, thank you very much <3
@raj808(77)· 2644d
Cool development Dan. I shall watch with interest. I stopped making much video content using DTube for a variety of reasons. I've seen a few people posting with 3speak and meant to look into what it is properly.

I think if this is marketed intelligently to the mainstream - like steemit should have been - it could bring that mass adoption to steem from a video content perspective. I can see this snow balling if people who've been persecuted on YouTube come to 3speak and are actually supported, and earn better, than they were previously on YouTube. If that happens, all the other YouTubers will notice and wonder why they're creating on a centralised platform when there's a better alternative out there.

Nice move! I hope you had a blast on your honeymoon. All the best 🙂👍

Great project! Giving a voice to those not begin heard is not only fair, but can even prevent people from going to drastic measures to get their voices heard.

Not saying that freedom of speech and censorship-freedom means that you deserve to be heard by everyone, but you deserve a platform where you are allowed to voice your opinions
@cloudspyder(60)· 2645d
This looks promising and perhaps a game changer.

@funtraveller(76)· 2645d
That's gonna be a great marketing strategy since there is a real need for a censorship resistant platform.

Awesome partnership by the way ;)
@mrblu(62)· 2645d
2speak , i believe this will have good impact in the community. this will boost up the moral of the writers, mining steem is not only what you can speak but , it is the way you speak the ideas and the passion on how you interact with the viewers and the readers.
@gadrian(76)· 2645d
Now, that's an announcement! I am not a video creator, but having your content hosted forever is a must for a video platform to lift off. And you guys offer it. Together with being censorship resistant, you have a strong niche, I believe.

I checked out a few videos. They run very smoothly, including when I tried to skip to a certain time. Maybe the servers won't handle it exactly the same when the platform becomes more popular, but right now it runs perfectly.

Plus, both you Dan and Oracle-D guys understand business (and marketing), so if all goes well I see 3Speak growing fast, at least in its niche. One more attraction point to our Steem ecosystem!

Do you have any plans regarding evergreen rewarding? The reward window limited to 7 days is big turn off for creators. If it can be made everlasting, we will have much easier time to convince people to switch even for creators that aren't deplatformed (yet).
@chevalier(45)· 2645d

HD videos & live streams, forever

How can you promise this??
@silentscreamer(71)· 2645d
3speak created a profile for me on their platform a few days ago and i went and looked into it. It seemed fine. Everything was there, the mission was easily understood and it looked nice.

But there are a few things to mention. As a musician i dont really have a problem with censorship so that sell point doesnt really do much for me.
Isnt @dtube also censorship resistant due to IPFS?

Another thing is that 3speak posts to Steem just like Dtube. Its either using one or the other and my content isnt something i can make 3 of in a day so i can spread over 2 platforms. Dtube is basically 80% of all my income on Steem so its hard for me to replace Dtube with 3speak.

I would love to support new projects but losing the majority of my potential income doesnt seem like something that is smart to do. Besides Dtube there really arent many bigger accounts willing to support you regularly based on only your content.

What would be the selling point for someone like me? Am i missing something?
@clixmoney(78)· 2645d
I'm a deplatformed content creator. I was posting on youtube a lot and I have a few channels blocked by them, just because I was talking
truth about something. I have about 6 youtube channels now and I joined steem from youtube when I watched a lot of people exicted about steem 2 years ago.

I joined steem and I dedicated all myslef to it. I'm helping newcomers learn about everything here, including dapps and communities. I've been curating for more than a year a community I've created one year ago called @dcooperation. I never powered down, I never delegated to a bot. I interviewed more than 100 steemians and even witnesses and dapps creators. I'm runining a show called ''Our Steem'' to connect communities in steem blockchain and to promote them. I'm always positive about steem and do my best to spread my positivity.

I don't even sleep well lately because I see that I'm a bit losing support. My I still do my best to not get down.

Recently I asked 3Speak again and again to join them, but they didn't accept me again and again and they said that they have enough testers.

Don't I deserve to post there ? Why they are not accepting me ? A lot of people know me here and know what I've done and what I'm doing. I want to join 3Speak. I want to create videos there. Please help me to join. I guess you know enough about me and I really need an other platform to grow there.
@jarvie(75)· 2645d
What is the meaning of the name "3Speak"?
@hafizullah(77)· 2645d
Great Announcement DAN! I hope it will be more powerful platform with good creators. Let's move with #3Speak
@vishalhkothari(57)· 2645d

The platform will rock for sure... Best wishes to both of you.

@joshman(74)· 2645d
Please reconsider where you are hosting this if you chose the UK. Your chosen paradigm for what constitutes illegality is seriously flawed. "3. No illegal content (as defined under British law)." This is a huge problem. The UK has very expansive hate and offensive speech net. Once a content creator banned elsewhere sees you are adhering to British law, they will be looking for the exists. Host this in the US or suffer for it. I'm not being hyperbolic here, and I am upvoting this before the 15 minute window for visibility.
@purapapita(70)· 2645d

I post alt-health topics and I self-censor on YT, so I have not been banned. You have to watch it with words over there such as "fermentation" and "detox." Can't be having promotion of ways to avoid antibiotics, lol.

Best of luck for this new endeavor though I wish they were a STEEM dApp. You might want to go into the discord group of "decentralized truth" and also add the tag "informationwar" to this post to find your peeps and help them find you.

@taskmaster4450(86)· 2645d
I did a write up on this while you were gone. An exciting project. Hopefully some big names are drawn to Steem because of this initiative.

There are a lot of video content creators being attacked by the established social media sites. While I might not agree with their views, I do agree they should not be censored or shut down. This bogus line about hate speech is ridiculous. It is just an excuse to censor.

I am glad you designed a platform to provide for them and where the content remains. This is a wonderful idea.

3speak shows a lot of promise. That was the reason I was so interested in it when I first came across it. My excitement remains in all time high for 3speak, but learning that I must have been banned, demonetized or censored in any other platform to be a part of it was the end of my journey within 3speak. I love the concept and wish it well from the sidelines.

It is a great place to put your resources into. Keep it up, Dan. This is going to be home to a lot of creatives to feel free to create.
