But why is that important? 🧵👇

Everyone wants to build a super-app. But what we need is a super-*ecosystem*.
The world will not get better with one company centrally-planning things a little bit better.
The world will get better when anyone can compete permissionlessly from anywhere in the world.

We are witnessing a complete shift within the social landscape.
Power is being distributed back to the individuals who use the platforms.
As we enter this new era of social, we must focus on creators and give them and the users what they deserve: ownership.
Let's break free 💙

Peer-to-peer micropayments directly on content have been one of the most exciting and innovative features we have created.
We call them diamonds, and they are often used more than the like button.

And the best part is... you only need one DeSo account to explore them all.
Creating an account on any of these gives you complete ownership of your social graph and content, which is then portable amongst all apps.
It's time to break free.
Welcome to the future of social 💙

There has never been a better time to rethink social and build an entirely new experience.
One that's creator-led, user-owned, and open to millions of devs around the world to build off one another.
It's time to put the power back in the hands of creators, users, and builders.
