This begins as in interesting article, but as it goes on it degrades into an uncritical celebration of some cryptocoin projects. This reads like the authors brain melted in real time.

I skimmed through it again, there is indeed some crypto projects mentioned at some point, but then the conclusion still englobe all protocols
Moderation paradox: Decentralization empowers communities, but moderation at scale remains unresolved. Bluesky saw a 17x increase in moderation reports in 2024. Mastodon instances clash over norms. X has community notes. No protocol has fully solved this.
Fragmentation: Competing protocols (ActivityPub, AT, Nostr, Lens, Farcaster) risk Balkanization. Without bridges, network effects may be diluted and the internet overall can become more siloed.

Its part of an actual article combined with ads for crypto project the author has invested in, I think that kinda ruins it.

Good warning. The article starts as a decent summary of social media history, but veers into really strange mba brained territory.
The speculative peak came with BitClout, later rebranded as DeSo. Launched in 2021, it tied tradable tokens to user identities - essentially a market for clout.
Critics slammed it as exploitative. Its notoriety, however, signaled the appetite for experimental models linking social and finance.It’s noteriety signalled an appetite? To link social and finance?? By who??? What twisted mind wants that demon Capital further embedded in voluntary human relationships!
