Imo federated systems address server-to-server decentralization - eg, whether a threads.net can talk to a threads.social server But what users really want is not this, but to prevent threads.net from cancelling/bricking user.Me! Blockhains provide such server-to-user decentralization, solving the actual user problem

there's always going to be the ability for an app to have to suppress a user (otherwise spam or bot protections wont work). i think the answer is those folks can then go to another spot?
