Twitter CEO Elon Musk Helps Make the Case for Decentralized Social

I come from a PR background and from a purely publicity-getting point-of-view, Elon Musk is providing a masterclass of how to stay top-of-mind with Twitter. I mean it has been an exciting roller-coaster ride because you never know what he'll do next. But one thing you can be sure is that everybody will be talking about it tomorrow.

Yesterday, he banned users from promoting other social media accounts on the platform and then due to apparent backlash, he seemed to relent. The next thing he did was tweet a poll asking users if he should step down as the head of Twitter. All of this was done on Sunday, so it'll be the first thing everyone talks about on Monday, #Genius. Last week he banned journalists. What will happen in this coming week. Stay tuned.

But the very fact that as the CEO he technically has the right to do this prompts the thinking person to consider the handwriting on the wall and look for alternative social media platforms. The best one that comes to mind is decentralized social, and for this very reason. DeSo is built on the blockchain. As such, by putting all your content on-chain, in full public view, it's impossible for a singular entity or person to own it, control it, or de-platform you. By being completely ownerless, DeSo has an advantage over centralized platforms. You can ban a closed centralized platform but you can't ban an open platform like DeSo because its content can be hosted on any domain.

Add Multiple Social Links

Another beautiful thing about DeSo is that you can completely list all the social media apps you're on, even competitors. This is the best way for your audience to follow and support you and your business. DeSo is all about putting the creator first. You, as the creator are in control.

DeSo will Dominate in 2023

By his very actions, Elon is making the case for decentralized social without needing any help. The future of social media will be creator-led, user-owned, open sourced, with creators having algorithmic choice and full transparency.

Web2 social platforms are designed for corporations to make money, not the creator. All DeSo apps are built for creators to make money from day one.

Join a social network that puts creators first. Join a real community of creators that are taking back ownership of what they create. Join a network where you can make real connections and support other creators. Instead of getting angry with the changes currently taking place with Twitter, why not leverage Twitter to make money from your content. How?

Twitter Back-up Plan

DeSo’s new Twitter Sync allows you to automatically back up every Twitter post to the censorship-resistant DeSo blockchain with one click. Users on Twitter are renting space on a land owned by Musk, so it's a good idea to have a backup plan.
