I think they could be the future, but any social media platform is only as strong as its underlying social graph. A flawless platform which checks every box will still fail unless you can convince a significant amount of users to join. Or, more to the point, a certain amount of graph edges need to be formed.
How do you do that? That’s the question floating over the graves of dozens of Facebook clones.
- CivBase 6y agoSure, but all we have to do is wait. Once a distributed platform finally takes off, I doubt we'll ever go back to centralized ones. I don't know how long it will take or how many platforms will rise and fall in the mean time, but it's just a matter of time.
