wen decentralize? lol
When we hit roughly 1000 visitors/day. That's when it begins to make sense decentralizing it IMO. Our 1000 people will then know our community/sub-communities can trustlessly persist.
This is ultimately the path I think we're on should we all confirm it's what we want.
It's not trivial to do well. Most decentralized networks of this kind are plagued by serious UX issues among other things so it'll need to be carefully constructed. We can, and hopefully will, do it - but we can't compromise on UX. It'll be a beautifully hard effort when the time comes.

Agreed on the focus of UX. That really needs to be the focus for all LN-based projects. IMO if you get the new-user experience setting up on LN right, you won't need to give away lots of sats.

It's very easy to get wrong in my experience. No great UX decentralized social media apps exist in my opinion - let alone one focused on discovery (ie ranking).

Agreed with not-so-great UX for decentralized networks.
One counter example that I really enjoy is Tusky Mastodon client. Imo great experience and clear features. And there's a Bitcoin community - see folks I follow/boost.

I actually haven't used Mastodon or gotten on https://bitcoinhackers.org yet because I'm a putz. But perhaps the move is a federation rather than hardcore decentralizing if they've managed to keep the UX nice.
