The DeSo Mission
Simply put, our mission is to decentralize social media the same way Bitcoin and Ethereum are decentralizing the financial world.
But why is that important? 🧵👇

What if every 'like' or follow cost $1.00+?
That's the reality for Web3 on every general-purpose blockchain on the market today, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and all others.
Smart contracts don't scale, and the numbers don't lie.
182

Perhaps our most contrarian post yet.
Who would you rather bet on to produce the killer-app in web3?
1) An army of millions of web devs limited only by their imaginations.
2) A few thousand Rust/Solidity devs who have to worry about gas costs?

Imagine a world where you owned the relationship with your audience.
You owned the content you created, and you can monetize like never before.
With DeSo, that world is finally here.

The Importance of Storing Social On-Chain 🧵
Some would argue that social apps can get by without storing everything on-chain.
E.g., one could imagine an ETH-based app that registers a user's public key on the blockchain, but then stores all posts on a centralized server.

It's Not DeFi vs. DeSo (Decentralized Social)🧵
Both of these world-changing innovations can live in the crypto-sphere together. However, they will individually need their own custom-built architectures to reach mass adoption.

The social media space needs a complete refresh, not just a new owner.
While
@elonmusk
buying twitter could be a step in the right direction, it is not the answer to all its problems.
We need to truly revolutionize social media as a whole.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The RESTRICT Act is a direct threat to your freedom of speech.
The US government wants to control everything you see and do online.
But there is a solution.
Decentralized Social can help combat this excessive censorship.
Here's a breakdown of the bill:

Imagine a world where... creators owned their social graph and content, could monetize from day one, and were not dependent on a single platform.
