The most interesting part of essay is actually the least fleshed out part, how to build new interesting social primitive with crypto?

Even today, Warpcast/Farcaster hasn't been able to answer this. And in this regard, Warpcast and any alt clients are on the on a level playing field.

So instead of bitching about not having decentralized Channel or DC or Group Cast, clients builder should really focusing on the right problems to solve. 

It is not interesting at all to build a better Warpcast at all, even if Warpcast is open sourced and you have all the legos in the protocol!

1. “A social network achieves sufficient decentralization if two users can find each other and communicate, even if the rest of the network wants to prevent it. This implies that users can always reach their audience, which can only be true if developers can build many clients on the network (Centralized social networks closely control their users’ ability to reach their audience). ”
2."Successful social networks are usually built around a new communication primitive. Facebook had the wall, Twitter had the 140-character tweet and Snapchat had the ephemeral message. The idea maze of things you can do with decentralized identities, blockchains and zk-proofs is large, weird and interesting enough that there are probably many primitives waiting to be discovered. "
