These days, X (formerly Twitter) can sometime feel more like Elon Musk's personal fiefdom than a decentralized global town square for open discussions.
Despite early hopes for free speech absolutism, political dissidents are still being censored. Low-credibility content is algorithmically boosted. Links to outside platforms kill your engagement. And the ability of users to curate their own experience with blocks has been defanged. And while these things may help Musk run X as a business, the collective dynamic is pushing more people to look elsewhere for their microblogging kick.
But while decentralized social networks like Farcaster and Lens have gained some traction, many even in the crypto industry are hesitant to leave X behind. Meanwhile, other explicitly non-financial decentralized social media options like Bluesky are seeing uptake.
