  Very interesting. I think it's just a matter of time before we see a killer app that's built on DeSo. Not sure if that first thing will be a decentralized Twitter alternative, but something on that scale for sure.

  Makes a lot of sense.

  Built-in economics (subscriptions, tipping) is awesome but I think the platform agnostic stuff is really interesting...

  Today if you wanted to have your own blog front-end, you have to couple that with figuring out your own distribution and giving up the audience of major platform (medium, substack). Love the idea of a future where the content, comments, likes, followers, etc. preserved across platforms. I could publish today anywhere, and know that I could build my own frontend in the future without starting from scratch. very cool

  Surprised DeSo hasn't gotten more hype with all the Elon <> Jack talk of making a decentralized alternative to Twitter.
