Decentralizing social platforms | Mike McGuiness, Co-founder, gm.xyzCrypto Sapiens

Today we are chatting with Michael McGuiness, Co-founder of gm.xyz We compare the different schools of thought on building decentralized social platforms, protocols vs. apps; we also touch on how we could connect with society at large to help people understand and care about decentralization; additionally, we discuss how decentralized social can improve the way people connect in web3 and govern communities.  There has been a lot of attention recently on building decentralized social platforms, a lot of this accelerated by the recent Twitter acquisition; this conversation highlights some of the reasons why those conversations are happening, how decentralized social can improve the way we make connections, find value-alignment with communities, share content, and retain the value of the work we put into social platforms. There is always a lot to unpack.
