gollark: Well, yes, but people really like blindly unverifiably trusting if it's convenient.
gollark: Or you can actually offer something much nicer and better in some way, a "killer app" for decentralized stuff, but if you do that and it's not intrinsically tied to the decentralized thing the big platforms will just copy it.
gollark: Yes, users are bad and won't care unless something directly affects them.
gollark: Also, in my experience the more privacy-friendly stuff also is more lightweight due to being designed with a mindset of doing it well and not adding excessive features, versus Facebook and whoever just using whatever allows them to get better time to market and shove in 2000 different weird features ~~stolen from~~ inspired by other platforms.
gollark: Social networks without E2E don't say "yes, we're not very secure, but [list of features that that allows us to provide we couldn't otherwise]".
