Check out www.ezira.io to learn about the Distributed social media and business platform. We are currently in the early stages of fundraising, but the Ezira whitepaper describes how these features like boards, groups, and events.

Ezira looks exciting and hope for the best as it competes with Steemit and http://Gab.ai and http://Minds.com and others. I saw the video for Ezira and I like what I see.
Isn't there a Discord chatroom for Ezira.io?
