What is a space on Subsocial?

Blog, channel, publication, group

Space is a corver concept at Subsocial. You can think of it as a Page on Facebook, or a publication on Medium, or subreddit, or Twitter account, etc. Space is a flexible entity.

Roles and Permissions

Subsocial consists of different blockchain modules. Currently there are about 10 of them. Let's looks at these two modules: Roles and Permissions. They can make your space more powerful. By using different Roles and Permissions in your space you can turn it into a Personal Blog or a Public Group. You can specify via settings who can post, comment, like in your space. Maybe only you can do it, or everyone else, or only followers. Or maybe a certain group of people defined by their account addresses on blockchain. It's up to you.

Ownership

Every space has an owner account. This means that this owner can be even be a multisig account. You may want to use such a feature if you are a co-founder of a project and you would like to share ownership of your project's space with your co-founders.

Transfer ownership

You can transfer an ownership of your space to another account. For example, you can use this feature to sell a space. Imagine you created a popular space where you or other pople write interesting posts. Then you decide to sell your space like poeple are selling domain names. You will find the "transfer ownership" feature helpful in such kind of situations. See how to transfer ownership of your space on Subsocial: Transfer space ownership (new feature).

And even more

Some features are already implemented in blockchain and needs to have UI created for them. Some features are almost ready like Moderation module. And even more features are planned for spaces. For example we want to make a space look more similar to DAO with its own treasury and governance (maybe its simplified version). Stay tuned.
