Every technology has pros and cons. The pro here is that some blog about corruption can't be knocked offline by some government authority lest they block the entire network, which would be a problem if any businesses use such a decentralized network for their own means. The con is that everything is immutable and unchangeable, and that has consequences - for reference, despite that the story about CP being on Bitcoin is false[0], it's definitely possible if anyone ever wanted to spend a few hundred thousands in gas fees to store an arbitrary jpeg on ethereum.

Let's not kid ourselves with the idea that's even likely to happen. The main use case of stuff like this is for people to say stuff that would get them banned on Twitter, and most of that consists of being an asshole or spreading lies. The blog about corruption will be put up on real Twitter, where the eyeballs are, and preserved by getting scraped by some organization like the Archive Team and uploaded to the Internet Archive.
