Why Decentralized Social

Centralized platforms deliver polished UX, but they concentrate power: who speaks, what spreads, and whether your audience survives a policy change. Decentralized social does not remove humans from moderation — it changes where rules are enforced and who can exile you from your own graph.

Algorithmic opacity frustrates creators who cannot see why reach collapsed overnight. Portable identity via wallets and ENS means your name and verification can travel — though normies still need smoother onboarding than seed phrases alone provide.

Decentralized social also attracts builders who want composability: tip a post, mint a collectible, or gate content with a token without negotiating API access from a gatekeeper. The tradeoff is fragmentation, slower iteration, and shared responsibility for spam and abuse across the ecosystem.
