RE: The rise of decentralized social media?

I would perhaps add (perhaps I missed it) the low barrier for being able to build an interface that connects to the blockchain.

And because all the data is there and people own their accounts, a new interface can import all past data including follower base in without skipping a beat. This means that users who do build a following aren't held to ransom over their follower base, as they are portable. I think this is important, as it takes away a lot of the risk of being demonetized by being cut off from supporters, therefore allowing an account to speak more freely.
