While this is good, I can't help but feel that the branding of the decentralised social media ecosystem is hurting the growth a little bit. The -verse suffix, imo, is just too tainted from all the cryptobro metaverse scams and really makes this seem like some crypto scam as opposed to an alternative to the current crumbling social media platforms.

Regardless, I hope this ecosystem does take off, as it does seem useful and interesting.

You're really denouncing an entire decentralized open source eco system cause you don't like that verse is a suffix that can be used for multiple things?

Please read what I said again. I don't have an issue with the ecosystem, and I said as much in the original post. I have an issue with the branding of the ecosystem and am concerned that it's hampering growth because of its associations with venture capitalists/crypto scams/metaverse scams, etc.
