Yes, it is an important question as to exactly *how* to build a decentralized platform that protects free speech against corporate censorship. Web3, BTC-only, or tokenless?
But note that consensus has shifted! A critical mass of the right people now *agree* this is a problem.

But the how (and then getting actual human adoption) is the only part that matters 😬. Otherwise it’s just a really fun brainstorm and theoretical exercise.

I disagree, actually. Alignment on goals is important and wasn’t there.
This is an area I care about, so I have been tracking it over time. I don’t have polling data, but I remember that Zuck’s free expression talk was against prevailing sentiment. may have thoughts.

A poll tells us very little: maybe a sufficiently large number of people think Trump should tweet. That doesn’t lead to it being technically possible to build a decentralized network where it’s safe, trustworthy, scalable, usable, and useful enough for most people to switch.

I can’t list every example here but mirror.xyz, , ’s Farcaster, and many others are really pretty cool partially or wholly decentralized social networks / writing platforms.
I believe it’s now technologically and commercially feasible, though hard.
For anyone that doesn’t know 😊
