Could the 2020s be the decade of decentralized social media? (self.chat)

So last decade was filled with corporate social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, etc. And I mean it still is but perhaps if we play our cards right we can make 2020 the age of decentralized social media? Maybe we won’t end up being the top 5 pages on the internet but we just have to grab a good portion of people to compete more directly with the big corpos. Descripción

It could very well be!

But truthfully, I don't think... Most of those decentralized platforms seems a bit young and imatures. Imature software makes it meh to use, but I think, since the communities are figuring out their power, and what they can do, from the outside it looks like a full on war against each other...

I think the beauty of it (independent instance that can federate[or not]) will also be the reason why "normal" people won't join.
