The main thread is in the main altcoin section Minds just switched from Rinkby to Ethereum Blockchain
Hey everyone! Minds another amazing blockchain social media platform that I've been on for several months is finally launching their "Minds" token and going fully live on the Ethereum Mainnet.

https://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-social-network-minds-is-migrating-to-ethereum-for-launch/IntroductionThey have managed to build such a great platform that includes groups, messaging, advertising and many other features. Their code is open source and peer reviewable which is great for transparency.
What Is Minds?Well Minds is like Steemit, but the usage doesn't require as much technical understanding which I think is really important for onboarding people who have no previous experience with blockchain technologies which could then help them transition to using Steem as well. It's got the same basic features but also has a bit more.
There is an extremely in-depth FAQ you can go through to learn or find answers:
https://www.minds.com/faqBasic FunctionsMinds is bit closer to Twitter or Busy.org on Steem with their UI and I really like it. It's very easy to use and you can identify explicit content, share with everyone, or just with specific people. They have a great deal of customization to your blogs and options for setting up your metadata.
It supports video, images, blogs, and short posts. Pretty much everything.
You can set rewards for people too and make premium content if you want.
And you can boost your posts using your earned tokens.
You can do so much more and this is just the tip of the ice berg! I highly encourage you to explore more on your own!
