The CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, has announced that the platform will be funding a small team to develop a decentralized standard for social media.

In a tweet made by Twitter’s CEO earlier today, Dorsey said that Twitter plans to fund a “small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers.” The end goal is to create a new decentralized standard which presumably will be for all social media. Twitter will be putting its weight behind the project and will, if successful, adopt this standard, someday.

For the love of God, Jack you've really surprised me today!

I think this is definitely a great decision by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Since he's an advocate of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, he is planning to something for us to accept and adopt social media's decentralized standard.

I don't know what you guys are thinking of Jack Dorsey's move. Do you think we are so ready for the decentralized standard?

Just let me know about your opinion, reaction or feedback about this one. For me, this is definitely huge and Twitter looks to be ahead of the line!

What did he mean by "new decentralized standard" is he planning to launch a twitter cryptocurrency. If he does then he if following the same path as Facebook CEO.

When a company owns & controls a platform, how can they set up a decentralized standard on that platform? whatever he is planning we need to wait and watch.

Decentralized will be = Censorship-resistant. How can pedophiles be regulated from posting/sharing child-porn?

I believe it will be adopted by them first.

Coming from the social network which has been known for censorship, it's hard to say the motivation behind this.

Exactly, decentralised standard for social media? Never heard of that and so I have my skepticism here.

If twitter adopts this wholly, I'm almost thinking it's because they are getting tired of being expected to act as the gatekeeper of what is right/wrong in society & what's allowed on their platform.

Having a decentralized version of twitter (whatever that may entail) may give them an out in having to censor by simply switching to the narrative "well it's decentralized"

Everyone has their narrative behind it, we might not fully see it in the beginning, but I have a feeling that Jack is up to something here, just saying.

He just sees the potential of a startup and that's why he's venturing into that business and at the same time, as an advocate, it's a good reason for him to support those kinds of teams.

He's the owner of twitter and for sure he understands the decentralization and impact that will lie into social media. There's a probable inner reason why he's supporting the team.

decentralized social media platforms never caught on. too clunky, no network effect. i suppose if a huge platform like twitter implemented a decentralized protocol, it might actually have a chance of catching on.

i assume that would mean no censorship, shadow banning, or other centralized means of control. i'm skeptical twitter would actually do that. wouldn't it destroy their paid advertising model? how are they gonna make money? they are a public company after all.

It is not clear what is meant by the decentralized standard for social networks. Let them first create what they want, and then we will see how much this is necessary for users of social networks. And it will turn out like with a Libra coin. A lot of noise, and as a result, there may not be any coin. In any case, it will not have the effect that was previously expected.
