You may not know my opinion on platforms like LBRY but they are not decentralized. Wolfballs is more decentralized than LBRY. Blockchains in every incarnation I have seen are a poor choice for social media if your goal is decentralization.

Whether your platform is based on a node in a blockchain or a node in a federated chain it's decentralization is directly correlated with how many people are willing to run a node. In the case of wolfballs, our data exist on several nodes. I can see the logs of outgoing servers. We send all these post to dozens of other platforms and instances which maintain their own copies of the data that I don't have power to alter. In the case of LBRY I only know of one node and two ways to access it and that is their website and app. Nobody actually runs their app btw everyone uses the website. If they want to censor something said you can't find that content else where.

You can see this demonstrated by going to the front page and comment on every video that the ceo is some big penis or similar insult and watch your account be banned.

Wolfballs has a central use case with content posting, but it could also add feeds with discussions from Dissenter like sources or even Matrix

Dissenter basically just created a post for a url. And it was slow and never really worked well. We could have a addon that showed conversations going on here or other instances for a given url and that would do the same thing.
