Distributed Social Network

Who knows?

Problems with them:

• Can be less intuitive (Who wants to manage tokens?)
• Network effect -- do my friends use it?
• Censorship. There are some things I want to see, and some things that should be taken offline. Many distributed networks brag about being "censorship proof" - this can be really bad.
• Slow to change, because each client/node needs to update to the new protocol, rather than the core company.

Good things about them:

• Privacy, anonymity
• No advertising
• (Possibly) speed, connectivity (i.e. can connect even when internet is down, through mesh networks)
• A level of censorship resistance

Personally, I don't believe in (the current state) of distributed social networks. This is why I'm working on ChitChat, an open-source (but centralized) alternative.
