Vitalik Buterin says he will fully return to decentralized social media

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has announced his intention to fully return to decentralized social media this year. He argued that for a better society, communication tools must align with the long-term interests of their members, adding that decentralization is the way to foster the necessary competition to achieve this. Buterin noted that many past social projects focused on token incentives for creators, which often led to a surge in low-quality content and tokens whose value dropped to zero within one or two years. He believes decentralized social media should be run by people who believe in its intrinsic value and prioritize solving its core problems, citing the crypto social network Lens as a prime example. Buterin stated he plans to post more on Lens as part of his renewed focus.
