This social media platform gives you the option to make your posts undeletable

Alternative social media platform Minds is now letting users permanently save their content on the Arweave platform, which ensures that nobody can ever delete it once published.

Minds users can choose to publish their content on the "Permaweb" with no payment or additional setup required.

The content can be viewed on the Arweave block explorer and it is expected to remain there forever - or at least for as long as Arweave exists, Minds CEO Bill Ottman told Cointelegraph.

While Minds has an Ethereum-based token used for rewards and paying for the company's services, the social media platform itself was entirely based on traditional web servers.

Not everyone may want to keep their social media history forever.

Using blockchain for content storage also carries the benefit of a more resilient infrastructure.

Major social media platforms are currently being scrutinized for simultaneously doing too much content moderation and doing too little - depending on the personal views of the critics.

"You have to ask yourself, which 1984 scenario do you want? Do you want a scenario where all information can be burned to the ground or do you want more content being permanent?".

As Ottman said, Arweave nodes enforce a certain degree of content moderation before deciding whether to include it.

Information could still be hidden by the front-ends of the social media platforms, which could significantly limit its reach.
