Been trying to get into that decentralized social protocol everyone's hyping. The vision? Brilliant. Own your social graph, censorship-resistant networking, all that jazz. Reality check though: every login feels like stumbling into an echo chamber. Homepage algorithm serves up noise—random posts with zero relevance. The community vibe screams insular, just users congratulating each other on... being there?

Worst part: endless parade of half-baked mini-apps. New "feature" drops weekly, each one feeling more like an inside joke than actual utility. Starting to wonder if I'm the problem here, or if the gap between manifesto and execution is just that wide.
