So it's useless as a social network. Not an alternative.

I wonder when will the anti-centralization people realize that their solutions are not for everyone, and that's why so many people don't care about them.

What about it being decentralized makes it useless, and not an alternative?

It makes things hard for actual users. Centralization can generate trust issues, but it is often damn effective, that's why it's used so much everywhere.
