Thanks for the well written post!
This place has a pretty steep learning curve, but it is well worth it to avoid centralized censorship, content filtering, and shadow banning. I recently authored a post to help onboard new users too, and I manually go through introduceyourself "new" and "trending" posts to welcome promising people to the blockchain.
There's no way to be sure what will happen in the future, but I know for a fact that decentralized social media will play a large role. Without it the truth will be kept hidden, and our individual liberties will continue to be attacked. Places like this are part of an active defense, and I'm proud to be among so many friends in the same fight for individual liberty!
P.S. I see your post's bottom image as a broken link. Please check it?
I believe money, exchanges and social media are the first up to go decentralized - the rest that benefits from decentralizing will follow soon after. Not sure how to fix the picture it shows up when I look, :/
It is working for me now. :)
