When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.
@anildash The other side of it is that blockchain-based social media is an absolute joke. Doesn't scale at all, monetization has never quite been figured out, and nobody wants to store all of their content in an immutable blockchain medium anyway.
