How does this handle data schemas? Perhaps I’m thinking too much of an RDBMS schema but for Twitter for example. If decentra-Twitter stores my data in some schema (say a hard-coded “pinned tweet” column that only supports one) then is everyone else stuck with that forever? Or could they extend that to include, say, multiple pinned tweets?

I don't have the experience with smart contract development to have an informed opinion on this.
My guess would be that others could extend the protocol, but the challenge would be to get the extension widely adopted.
For example, ERC20 is the primary token transfer protocol on Ethereum, and there are various new token transfer protocols that are supersets of ERC20, and add useful new functionality, but they have not yet gained the widespread adoption to become useful the way vanilla ERC20 is.
