There’s already decentralized social networking. Mastodon comes to mind.

  In my opinion Mastodon lost its only value proposition (to be censorship free) when people started hunting for ways to block Gab, with ruthless social media harassment against admins who refused to block instances. They also adopted a 'server covenant' (https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/05/introducing-the-mastodon-server-covenant/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/05/introducing-the-mastod...) that automatically takes political stances that are incompatible with open discourse.

    That's pretty brutal. Why do they have so little faith in their own concept? Independence but only on our terms?
