an incredibly thoughtful essay to a simple question with only complicated answers.

a lot to learn as well when it comes to decentralization: zooko's triangle, pet names, DIDs and more and the phrase: "the organization is a future adversary"

there are some deeper level questions though when it comes to social networks: do we need a decentralize social network (is credible exit good enough)? can we have public online social networks that are more healthy than they are costly to society?

what does seem to shine through this conversation though is that decentralization technology has come a long way and continues to thrive and enable applications new and old. it's just that social networks soak up a lot of attention given their status in our society today.
