Beyond the Algorithm: Decentralising Social Media
What if your social media posts paid you? What if your followers actually belonged to you—not the platform?
Decentralised social platforms are trying to rewrite the rules of the internet. From token-gated chats on Telegram to on-chain content on Lens and Farcaster Frames that let you trade, tip, or transact inside a post—the next wave of social is about ownership, interoperability, and income .
But can they fix the creator economy? Will anyone outside of crypto care? And are we just rebuilding Twitter on-chain with worse UX?
Join us for an evening of open debate, protocol hot takes, and real talk about the future of content, clout, and community online.
🔍 We’ll explore:
What makes a “decentralised” social network actually work?
Can these tools solve the problems of discovery, ownership, and monetisation—or just reshuffle the same mess?
Is Telegram the real Web3 super-app?
What does success look like for creators and communities on-chain?
Will any of this ever matter to the mainstream?
Whether you're building, posting, lurking, or launching—this one's for you.
