Networks online are going to stop being so inclusive. Nothing else makes sense. Public social networks are just places for vigilante hordes to roam around and look for whatever excuse they can come up with to bludgeon. Once all the people without bad faith leave they will start cannibalizing each other, like Paris during The Terror.

I did a story this week which included a description of a DAO. It made me think that it would be cool if there were an easy way to spin up private social networks where you and a bunch of friends could share around links and micro thoughts and they also worked as a decentralized autonomous organization so that all the posts were organized to highlight the best stuff.

One of the things that's hard about new services is remembering to visit them once you've tried them out. On something like Arweave or Blockstack it would be easier though because you log into the internet itself, rather than to each service. So inevitably someone will build a panel that will show you the latest stuff from all your little private social networks, which makes it easier to remember to revisit them.

Conversations with the whole world just don't work. We know that now. We need ways to have more effective small to semi-large group conversations online, and I think the decentalized web stack is well equipped to deliver it.
