we need a open decentralized network. if people are serious about it, they will set up a 501c3 for the infrastructure and have a multilayered approach to users and data.

Also this is a techno-optimist position, the realist in me will always say follow the kids(pre-teens/teens) or a specific niche. we have ephemeral pics/videos now, next will be something even more "me" centric

But how many times will this be tried? How many well-meaning Facebook alternatives will launch and fail, die slow deaths, or become sustained but marginal destinations? We have the technology, but that apparently isn't enough.

What I hope is instead of "me" centric it is idea/knowledge centric. That would be preferred imo. It almost seems utopian to me: A decentralized network with knowledge and ideas at the forefront.
