RE: Name YOUR decentralized social network?

Edit #4:
Looking at the new names, I'm attracted to Streem (chiefly as I find the look and sound of the word appealing) and Infotree.

Streem is another choice which could be both the ledger and dApps name.

For me, I would still like to see remain as the token/ledger name, but Streem (spelled with at least one ∃?) as a candidate for the dApps name. Though while I can
appreciate the doubts you now have over Realms' adaptability to various applications, isn't this also the case with Streem(s), to at least some extent? Streem(s) feels like
it would be suited to just the function of a YouTube clone, podcasts and newsfeeds that you already associated it with. So I would probably go for Infotree over Streem as
it has less useage bias. But I think there's still a problem with Infotree in that while it would probably serve well for Quora and Wikipedia clones, but not for the Medium and Reddit ones.

I think the "tree" concept is worth pursuing - even TR∃∃/ TRE∃/TR∃E itself as a possibility? Most people are positive about trees (as I reckon it will be the
more familiar organic sense many will think of rather than data structures): tree of life, tree of knowledge etc, and they imply growth and protection. And getting a bit more
abstract, there is the hidden underground relationship between trees and mycelium that benefits the ecosystem.

(interesting what you wrote about the tree structure of microtransactional tipping)

I agreed with your conclusion regarding SLANT.

A downside is it sounds similar to ‘prisons’ [---] The word sounds technical and not so friendly. And the USP concept is too abstract. Yet I still like the name. Unique.
Brandable. Professional. But might not stand out enough.

I didn't think of "prisons", but agree with the rest.

Surprised to discover that Patreon was not so widely known. Maybe ANG∃L instead as an alternative to Patreeon (if you choose not to attach it to the "tree" concept),
seeing as I agree that many people aren't aware of its meaning?

Infopedia comes across to me as a little bland, compared to the more characterful Wikipedia - I remember it grabbed my attention when I first heard the name.

Two names I thought of that incorporate "tree": Tiptree (actually an English town) and Treet, based of course on "treat": a celebration, surprise, feast, gift; anything
that gives great pleasure. I reckon it could be used for a wide range of applications. The ∃ could be used graphically in the first spelling to represent a block, as
TRE∃T, and in the second as TR∃ET, maybe with stylised branches spreading out from the middle.

Tangentially, “Meet the man behind a third of what's on Wikipedia”

The above, and your following points, I found illuminating.

Btw, it was nagging me where I'd seen a logo combining an E with a ∃ in popular use before:
