Comment on Ask HN: Would you pay for a fully encrypted Google Photos alternative?parent

I think DeSo tries to do some of the stuff you mention.

However, this is massively tricky. How can you say that the next Instagram still uses square pictures, has the concept of likes, etc.

Though decentralized social networks provide portability, using it in reality is very difficult.

But the photos aren't square when you upload them to Insta, right? I don't use Insta, so have no idea.

Most social networks are fairly consistent on "likes", but then you've got things like linkedin that have different "emotions".

This is one reason why I think GPS data is a good trial area for this. A fairly standard format, and most of the value add comes from the app you are using it with.

I'd not heard of DeSo before. Thanks for giving that reference.
