The traditional closed nature of user data monopolies and manipulation on Web2 social platforms has caused problems. Therefore, DeSoc (decentralised social network) is trying to rebuild digital identities through open protocols, returning data ownership and management to users.
In addition to data ownership, complaints about follower management, censorship systems, and closed-source algorithms also provide opportunities for DeSoc to capture market share. Frankly, now is the best time for everyone to move towards DeSoc.
Exploring the Future of Decentralised Social Media in Web3
On the afternoon of April 12, the “DeSoc: SBT, DAO and SocialFi” theme session at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2023 will focus on the infrastructure, social graph, information flow, regulatory compliance, and other key topics related to decentralised social media in the Web3 world. Popular project leaders from the SBT, DAO, and SocialFi sectors will also explore the future vision of Web3 decentralised social media, actively discussing how to create an open social environment for Web3 users to communicate freely and securely.
The co-organiser of this DeSoc theme session, Mask Network, as a well-known project with great influence in the Web3 social field, is committed to helping users seamlessly transition from Web2 to Web3. By bringing excellent decentralised application ecosystems into traditional social networks, Mask products provide decentralised choices for Web2 functions that users are familiar with. Users can enjoy secure, decentralised social media, borderless payment networks, decentralised file storage and sharing, and easily appreciate the charm of the Web3 world without leaving mainstream social networks.
We sincerely invite more small partners who care about Web3, DeSoc, and related topics to join the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2023 “DeSoc: SBT, DAO and SocialFi” theme session to explore opportunities and the future together!
