I really like their listed user experience goals: 1. Cross-platform engagement Create content via one platform and engage with users on other platforms. 2. Moderation choice Voluntarily opt into moderation policies that reflect the experience you want. 3. Data portability Data portability and credible exit are built in (you can take your data and followers with you). 4. Advertising disincentive Portability prevents lock-in or captive audiences, which disincentivizes advertising. 5. Algorithmic choice Users can choose the feeds and algorithms that work for them. It's not do it yourself, it's more having more control if you want too. | ||||||||||||||

The issue is only developers know the benefits of those features. Most people just want to view content or post and get their likes. That is why they use social media rather than post on their own website. I don't think this is a technology problem, its more of a socioeconomic problem. People tend to choose the centralized option and projects that start out decentralized tend to end up centralized WWW-Social media, Email-Gmail, Git-Github, Bitcoin-Coinbase etc | ||||||||||||||
