This project beautifully highlights the problem with "web3"/"dweb"/decentralized social media projects.

What people want is not permanence or anti-censorship.

They want to feel safe in an increasingly scary world. I don't want psychos tracking me down and trying to ruin my life because I have a different opinion than them. I just want to have fun with my friends and be left alone.

I agree about uncontrollable permanance, however i think in general people want anti-censorship.

It's just that controllable permanence and censorship blocking comes with trade-offs. And most people aren't fully aware of those trade-offs until it's too late.

More thinking should be done in terms of UX.
