Trump may already be president. Sworn in, inside, today. And tomorrow is just going to be a bunch of playing whack-a-mole with "lone gunman".

Speaking of decentralized social media, there is of course the HIVE method, with multiple servers and block chain. But, there is also a way of everyone having their own "wall server". A $100 microcomputer that sits next to your router, and basically, it connects with other "wall servers" and shares your stuff with your friends.
I think there will be something else, with some broadcast protocol, that will require you to have a server always listening. Or several conglomeration servers.
Don't know. It is hard to imagine new tech. You know the problem will be solved, but there are dozens of ways to skin this cat.

I agree, and it's what we need to secure crypto from them that own extant communications infrastructure, who are not our friends.
