Is a pure walled-garden social internet without unincorporated non-platform virtual space worth participating in? If I didn't have a home blog and only had platform accounts (FB, twitter, etc) I don't think I'd bother being online beyond a simple biography page.

Building your own website on a platform layer that's below "social" is a way to maintain political independence. If you live above the "social" layer, you're basically algorithm food. It's the Gemeinschaft equivalent of "below the API".

Replying to @kacperwikiel
Medium for example is above the social because it exists on top of a distribution channel owned by a particular company. A self-hosted wordpress blog need not do that.
