The pros and cons of decentralized social networks:
Over the past few years, aided in part by the spread of Covid-19, the social networking industry has been gaining in popularity, but has exposed a number of sticking points that have called into question the future of this market.
There are several factors to consider when it comes to social media: they can be used for legitimate purposes such as spreading important news, raising funds, and promoting business, but at the same time they can be used for bad purposes such as misinformation, cyberbullying, and even scams.
The main difference between centralized and decentralized social networks lies in the fact that there is no centralized server controlled by a single entity that dictates their operation. Through the use of blockchain, it has been possible to build a new prototype of social network, within which users' privacy cannot be violated and data is shared by all participants in the network.
User control, resistance to censorship, and the defense of freedom of expression are ensured by the fact that there is no single actor deciding what may or may not go well according to its own interests, and the rules set are shared by all participants without hidden terms of service. One of the most hotly debated issues is the content moderation system, which must have limits that do not allow users to result in misbehavior or illegal behavior.
Similarly, the privacy and security of users would be protected by the fact that there is no need to enter one's personal information to sign up for a platform, and by the fact that there are no passwords saved on a server since cryptographic keys are used for the "login" process.

Increase in the number of Italians active on social networks
We Are Social has published its annual report "Digital 2022", with the aim of better understanding the latest digital trends. According to the statistics found, Italians active on social networks in 2022 are about 43.2 million, registering an increase of 5.4 percent (or about 2.2 million) compared to last year.
Among the favorite platforms of users between the ages of 16 and 64 are Whatsapp (first place, with 90.8 percent usage), followed by Facebook (78.6 percent) and Instagram (71.4 percent).
This report is particularly significant because it confirms the growing trend of using social networks for more and more purposes. The average time of use in social networks by a user was about 1 hour and 47 minutes, with an average of about 6 platforms used per user. In addition, about 85% of total Internet users in Italy use social networks. Motivations for users to spend more and more time on these types of platforms include mainly: news and story reporting, contact with friends and family, and use of "empty" time. In smaller amounts, however, we also find motivations such as: searching for products to buy, finding people with the same passions, and staying up-to-date with the latest trends.
Considering this kind of scenario, one realizes that social media represents an increasingly large and complex world within our society, and as such needs appropriate attention. What solutions do you think can be adopted to improve the experience and quality of using social networks nowadays?
Thank you RangoExchange ✨

Are you still confused about what decentralized social networks are?
Today we invite you to read the latest article from 101blockchains, detailing all the benefits of this rapidly growing industry.

The British newspaper, The Guardian, discusses how Chinese authorities are censoring a large amount of online data on social networks related to the latest wave of Covid-19.

Cointelegraph.com talking again about Decentralized social media 🌎
“Building on-chain isn’t easy. Web3 social media platforms are building on new technology stacks with significantly smaller teams than the Web2 behemoths. From that perspective, it can be a challenge to scale fast enough to meet user demands and serve every Web2 user with a level of features and refinement they desire.”

The German newspaper Politico announces that 2023 could be the year of decentralized social media
Let's look together at the causes that could make this sector grow strongly during the coming year.
First, there has been a general interest in the benefits that a social network built on blockchain could bring, such as resistance to censorship and greater privacy for users. With the development of protocols and platforms that offer increasingly better functionality and protect the privacy of those who use them, users are beginning to consider alternative solutions to existing ones.
Jack Dorsey's public support of Nostr (a new protocol based on cryptographic keypairs but that is not peer-to-peer) has stirred the spirits of industry enthusiasts even more toward these kinds of new technologies, even gaining support from a good portion of the public. Even Chris Messina, a technology expert and founder of the Open Web Foundation, has come out in favor of social networks built on web3, saying they are "ready for public consumption."
On the web2 front, moreover, the latest news from Elon Musk in wanting to turn Twitter into a kind of American WeChat (an app used in China that offers almost any kind of digital service), has raised huge doubts, both legal (over the collection of personal and medical data of users) and ethical, creating a climate of chaos and uncertainty for the future of the digital giant.
At the same time, Meta is continuing to defend itself in court against allegations that it is involved in anti-competitively acquiring smaller companies to dominate the market.
Thus, the outlook seems positive regarding the development of decentralized social networks, and users and markets interest is slowly changing, given an increasing awareness of the importance of social media within our lives.
How do you think this sector will develop?
