Current centralized social media platforms create several key challenges for users and creators.
These platforms often use user data for targeted advertising, undermining privacy. Their algorithms prioritize content that reinforces existing beliefs, creating filter bubbles and polarizing communities.
Monetization options for creators are limited as most platforms take a large share of revenue and control visibility through unpredictable algorithms.
Finally, users lack true ownership of their communities, as platforms maintain control over data, rules, and access, leaving little room for community-led governance.
These issues highlight the need for more transparent, user-controlled alternatives.
