Decentralized social is cool, but feels like all we’ve done is swap web2 walled gardens (Facebook, Twitter, etc) for web3 walled gardens (Farcaster, Lens, Bluesky, etc). What’s the future look like? Will one DeSoc protocol win out & become ubiquitous like the Internet protocols (eg, IP, FTP, HTTP, etc)?

How are FC, Lense and Bluesky walled gardens? Where are the walls?

Don't generalize all decentralized social protocols, we aren't invite only and we just had a user deploy their own self-hosted @beb community (which are NFTs)! https://warpcast.com/jc/0x796b6b

You and I are on the same brain wave today! I agree with everything you’re saying. But regarding walled gardens, everything is walled to start. Facebook was walled. I think Instagram was walled. It’s important to set the social rules and your niche before… https://warpcast.com/manuelmaccou/0x8f6333

let’s take a step back, what is your definition of walled garden?

I hope so? A person can only manage so many apps.
