Doesn't necessarily need a blockchain involved, though there are ways I could see that being useful. @freenetproject has been working on useful stuff here for ages.
IMHO, it seems the only way forward for free speech on social media is promoting totally open platforms based on blockchain-like distributed ledgers, like http://memo.cash . Any platform that can be controlled will be controlled. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-cash-powered-social-media-platform-memo-continues-to-thrive/ …

If your blockchain-based thing actually puts the data on the chain, then as soon as you get significant usage, the decentralization will degrade. You don't want every node having a copy of all the data. Blockchains are *replicated* data structures, not *distributed* ones.

Although the "blockchain" part is a bit of a hype thing (very expensive for storing data), I think we are better off copying the e-mail model where self hosted services communicate with each other. Many such projects are in active development but need to reach maturity
