The interesting part is that looks like we want an interconnected network, not a set of isolated silos. Any modern commercial social media is a kind of network across the globe where everyone can meet everyone as soon as they have accounts (in a centralised way). It's way easier to maintain a network (and gain profit) when it's centralised. So, going decentralised becomes a task to keep interconnected while still also being a safe place and at least have resources to operate.
