In recent years, decentralized social platforms like Ecency have become more than an experiment — they’re evolving into real communities powered by shared ownership and transparency. But as more users join, I can’t help wondering: can decentralized platforms ever fully replace the giants like X, Facebook, or YouTube?
Sure, we have freedom, real value for content, and a community-first model. But mass adoption also brings challenges — scalability, content moderation, UI familiarity, and onboarding new users who aren’t tech-savvy.
So here’s a question to the Ecency community: What do you think is the biggest barrier to making decentralized social media truly mainstream? Is it education, UX, or simply human habit?
Let’s have an honest, forward-thinking discussion — one that could shape how we build the next chapter of the internet.
