It's 2023 and Jack is on the board, someone needs to be throwing money at them to solve their scaling problems-this ain't 2005.

They will have a different set of scaling problems to what Facebook had in 2005 - their decentralised architecture will throw out new challenges that will need time to be worked through.

Has anyone else created a decentralised social network at this scale? Arguably matrix but they also grew slower, potentially have a simpler product, and had scaling challenges along the way.

Remember scaling doesn’t just mean technical for a social network - it also means support and moderation.
