Good thread 👇
Letting users own their social graph & switch services *while taking your network with you* is one of the core public services web3 can deliver.
This is how email works and there is no reason all social services can’t work this way.

I believe we already have all the necessary infrastructure.
The key is judicious division of what goes on-chain vs off-chain to guarantee user ownership of critical data while minimizing gas fees and maximizing scalability.

web1 maintained strong decentralization of web (http) and email (smtp) all via DNS. If a hosting provider behaved badly you could just switch your domain to point to a new IP and you didn’t lose any data or your position in the network.
The best way to keep social services in check and behaving well is to give users the power to switch services without losing any data or their position in the network.
This will also increase competition and innovation. There has been strong competition in email for decades among clients, hosting providers, security services etc. Imagine if we had rich ecosystems like this around other social services.
